I intend to live this life with you Until the final march under sinking suns Where there'll always be one more bridge to cross So let's take it back, restart the reel, rekindle a faith in pretty voices The ones who taught us how to live unchained and willing With those words on our tongues as we face erasure How much further should we walk 'til we reclaim a world at stake? I'd take my life to the woods if I could just unsee This disconnection, war, abuse, and fear For the albatross clipped in wing Who gained his stride but lost the vision We lose, we gain, we suffer, just to die incomplete Our mothers and fathers worked 'til the years broke them We watched the homes burn up when the factories closed And mourned our friends who died for nothing When the world pries the will from the hands of the last good man We lose everything, we're losing everything I still feel, I still hope In every effort to find a lasting peace I still sing, I still sing I'll do whatever it takes to be I'll do whatever it takes to be I'll do whatever it takes to be I'll do whatever it takes to be I'll do whatever it takes to be I'll do whatever it takes to be I'll do whatever it takes to be free
