| I’ll ask you to leave here tonight, you knew it was planned
|
| When the world takes your heart from the fight
|
| You do what you can
|
| You’re living here lost in the land
|
| So brother don’t force my hand
|
| Please let’s see the forest for the trees
|
| Cos it’s time to rise up;it's time to rise up from your knees
|
| This ain’t no life for us my brother
|
| This ain’t no life for us my brother
|
| You’re blind to all the colors, of the life you could discover
|
| This house feels cold, abandoned and quiet
|
| A son needs a warm hand to hold and home that’s kind
|
| A father who will stand in the light
|
| I won’t watch you die inside
|
| For a love that was lost in the mire
|
| But it’s time rise up, it’s time to rise up from your knees
|
| This ain’t no life for us my brother
|
| This ain’t no life for us my brother
|
| You’re blind to all the colors of the life you could discover
|
| The depth you’ve found, is a trick of the mind
|
| Is there hope for the man whose life has let him down
|
| There’s enough of those ghosts in this town
|
| I’ve seen it drag good men down
|
| Free up the shame in your pain
|
| And let it rise up, let it rise up from the flame
|
| This ain’t no life for us my brother
|
| This ain’t no life for us my brother
|
| You’re blind to all the colors of the life you could discover… |
