Bystanders

Give me your hands
And I'll try to believe
In making amends
With the powers that be
The weight of the world
As we wait around
Tries to have its way
Wants to hold us down
And though it will try
While we stand by

Once we're gone
They'll sing our song
But they'll forget our names
And the words will be wrong
And the tears we cried
And the wars we fought
Just a memory
Gone

Like a pack of wolves
Trying to catch our tails
Never able to win
But can we really fail
A dose of distrust
And some apathy
And we should probably care
But it's not our scene
And though we won't try
We'll still stand by

And once we're gone
They'll sing our song
But they'll forget our names
And the words will be wrong
And the tears we cried
And the wars we fought
Just a memory
Gone
Once we're gone
They'll sing our song
But they'll forget our names
And the words will be wrong
And the tears we cried
And the wars we fought
Just a memory
Gone

Let it fall on me my darling
Let it all rain down
You're the one I need my darling
Cutting through those clouds
Let it fall on me my darling
Let it all rain down
You're the one I need my darling
Cutting through those clouds
