Down

It took his breath away holding the bank page He got the letter they're gonna take their house away I'm 'bout to have a daughter he yells it in the air Feeling the weight of a world that just don't care He lit a cigarette felt it on his lip Driving home on a long road with regret He pulls the window down shouts it out loud Pushing the pedal and praying lord help us now He's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down Can you here when we call There where we fall Standing our backs against the wall Top of our lungs hallelujah Where pain and love bleed into one Baby when all you see is darkness It's coming down now We all need forgiveness Coming round now It was Monday night under the street lights She's turning seventeen in seven nights Out on the fairgrounds walking in monotone She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul On the road alone in a house that's half a home They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone She's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down Can you here when we call There where we fall Standing our backs against the wall Top of our lungs hallelujah Where pain and love bleed into one Baby when all you see is darkness It's coming down now We all need forgiveness Coming round now Take these broken streets Take these broken dreams Hold my hand like we we're walking free Tell me it will change I see it in your face The hope the fear the love the faith I'm working late again slaving to make the rent I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement They're coming one by one the face of falling love I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cups Can you here when we call There where we fall Standing our backs against the wall Top of our lungs hallelujah Where pain and love bleed into one Baby when all you see is darkness It's coming down now We all need forgiveness Coming round now Can you hear when we call There were we fall Standing our backs against the wall At the Top of our lungs how far we've come Were pain and love bleed into one All that we need it's so bitter sweet The pain that opens our eyes to see Baby when all you see is darkness Coming down now We all need forgiveness Coming round now It's coming down now
