Lyrics

Fight to Wake

Maybe we're not all bad
Do you ever look down and think that?
But there's war and there's fires
There are bullets inside the body of paradise

Maybe we're not all bad
Even a child's eyes can see that
Cause they push and they need to cry and to breathe
To make it into this life
And we would do it again

We would fight to wake
For the love we make
For this home that we've built all around us
For the land we love
For the battles won
For the rise and the fall of each breath we take

We would fight to wake
We would fight to wake

Maybe we've lost our way
Between the cradle and the grave
Where smiles are hard
And the truth is not far
But few choose to use it

Maybe we'll find our way
Though small beneath these stars we lay
When given the chance to die or to dance
We'd all face the music
Again and again and again

We would fight to wake
For the love we make
For this home that we've built all around us
For the land we love
For the battles won
For the rise and the fall of each breath we take
We would fight to wake
We would fight...

For the coming of home and our dreams yet conceived
The pursuit of a happiness few would believe
We fall and we wonder from lost into found
And the world keeps on spinning around
When the world keeps on spinning around
Sometimes I say aloud:
"I would fight to wake, I would fight to wake
If this choice were mine, then this choice I'd make
Turn this little light to the kindling of faith
And feel it surround us"

I would fight to wake
For the love we make
For this home that we've built all around us
For the land we love
For the battles won
For the rise and the fall of each breath we take

We would fight to wake
