lyrics

The Deepest Breath

Cold the hand that once held yours
Furrowed face now forever empty
She was old before she’d lived her youth
Hollowed out in a land of plenty

Did you dream last night child?
Did your dream stay with you?
Oh the city sucks the wild from your mind
So hold your dream before it hits you
And wear your dreams, they’re all that fit you

We dig these graves every day
Eternal homes denied in lifetime
And the rich men wave our lives away
Can’t see a soul without a price tag

Did you dream last night child?
Did your dream stay with you?
Oh, this town can burn the bright of your mind
So hold your dream before it hits you
And wear your dreams, they’re all that fit you

Oh sing friend if you’ve a song to sing
For your songs are a glimpse of a flickering freedom
And we’re not yet spent and we’ve a world to win
Ah there’ll be no king but it’ll be our kingdom

Did you dream last night child?
Did your dream stay with you?
Oh this land can leech the light from your life
So hold your dream before it hits you
And wear your dreams they’re all that fit you

And will you sing on now, love
You’ve got songs a plenty
Oh they’ll try to tear the truth from your mouth
So sing on strong, make sure they’ve felt it
Oh sing on now for your soul’s not empty

Sing on, sing on,
In your song flies the highest hope of all
Dream on, dream on,
Our dreams are the deepest breath we draw

Sing on, sing on,
In your song flies the highest hope of all
Dream on, dream on,
Our dreams are the deepest breath we draw

Sing on, sing on,
In your song flies the highest hope of all
Dream on, dream on,
Our dreams are the deepest breath we draw

Sing on, sing on,
In your song flies the highest hope of all
Dream on, dream on,
Our dreams are the deepest breath we draw
Our dreams are the deepest breath we draw
Our dreams are the deepest breath we draw
