When I was a boy
I saw my daddy crying at the steering wheel
And oh, it made me feel so scared
Then there was joy
Found my religion, swimming in a choir of voices
And oh, I knew that I'd been spared

That I'd be saved some sunny day
Saved from throwing my life away
That I'd be saved some sunny day
From throwing my life, throwing my life away

Keep singing, woah, I keep singing
Praising to the heavens with my voice ringing
Keep singing, woah, I keep singing
Clap to the beat till my hands are stinging
And I'd be saved some sunny day
From throwing my life, throwing my life away

And now I understand
I'm a wide-eyed father, and blessed are the children
Oh, our greatest reward
And with these hands
I'll move a mountain, build a castle to keep you safe
Of this you know you can be sure

And you'll be saved some sunny day
Saved from throwing your life away
And you'll be saved some sunny day
From throwing your life

Keep singing, woah, keep singing
Praising to the heavens with your voices ringing
Keep singing, woah, keep singing
Clap to the beat til your hands are stinging
And you'll be saved some sunny day
From throwing your life, throwing your life away

Who do you love?
When it all comes down to truth
Who do you love?
When it all comes back to you
Who do you love?
When you're lying in your bed
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Keep singing, woah, keep singing
Pray, keep singing, woah, keep singing
Pray, keep singing, woah, keep singing
Pray, keep singing, woah, keep singing

And you'll be saved some sunny day
Saved from throwing your life away
And you'll be saved some sunny day
From throwing your life, throwing your life away

Keep singing, woah, keep singing
Praising to the heavens with your voices ringing
Keep singing, woah, keep singing
Clap to the beat til your hands are stinging
And you'll be saved some sunny day
From throwing your life, throwing your life away
