Rise Against

[lameuser]

I have my mother's eyes
I have my father's dreams
You can't take that from
Why would you even try?

The crisis in the streets
While giants in the sky,
Preparing to unleash,
Let loose a might cry

Can anyone saves us
A flimsy book, it tries?
The building are burning
Thousands have died
And all a long they're saying

Help is on the way
They said, they said,
"Help is on the way",
They said, they said,
"One nation under God."
That's just blasphemy
Help is on the way?

Five thousand feet below,
As black smoke engulfs the sky,
Our emotions erupt,
As millions cry.

Across the ocean,
A desert paradise,
Some took great joy,
As they watched us die.

We stand at the borderline,
Our guns in the air,
Our bombs pierce the dark sky,
Do any of us care?
And all along they say it:

Help is on the way
They said, they said,
"Help is on the way",
They said, they said,
"That man's our enemy."
Gotta be kidding me
Help is on the way?

Right here, right now!

We're choking on the black gold,
upon which we rely,
We keep their demons in our attics,
Just to keep on with our lives.

Help is on the way?

We were told just to sit tight,
Cause our savior would soon arrive.
Help is on the way!
But, he never came.
HE NEVER CAME.

I say, I say
You can hold my hand
instead of
shaking that old book
Perhaps we could live in unity.

Is help on the way?
If your hand was in mine,
Walking side by side,
We could right our destiny.

Then, help would be on its way.
I say, I say
"Killing hate by showing
Love is what we need."
So, help is on its way
On my way!
