While We're Up - Little Words Lyrics
Little words said on the back of the busFrom the little voices rolling softly off little tonguesWhispering of a time that there wasWhen every lost hope and dream were brighter things untouched by the dustThese are words of good intentionsWhat if we could start over?The parents give warning to their daughters and sonsWith the smoke and the fears burning quickly inside their lungsOh listen to each other like we should've doneDry your tears, open your eyes, and run, oh baby runThis is a song of good intentionsWhat if we could start over?The world is not ours to keepWe borrow it from the ones we leave behindAnd when we're lost to darkened sleepWhat will our children have to remind them... Of who we were?As we think of ourselves, and not of themWe're losing it all againAs time's arrow marches through our skinWe can relight the fire withinWe'll think of ourselves by thinking of themAnd regain it all again.As time's arrow marches through our skinWe can relight the fire within... We can relight the fire within...
