The Longest Year

Are we still here?
Are we still here?
Are we still here
So many vultures but the doves still gather round us when the sky starts to blush

The longest year
We feel our lungs fill up with lead
It is a heavy time to have a beating heart

And all I know is we are enough
So keep on and keep your head up

There is a stain around us

There is a question hanging loud
Is there any way to get back from where wе’ve been?

But it’s quiet in the mеadow
There is a bridge right to the sun
There is always a way back to yourself

And all I know is we are enough
So keep on and keep your head up

I know you know it
‘cause we used to sing it
Just hang on, hang on

So for the sleepless mothers
And for the tangled souls and for the brokenhearted
With chests like empty rooms
And for the walking wounded and for the restless sons and for the weary fighters, for everyone…
I know we are enough so keep your head up

I know you know it
‘cause we used to sing it
Just hang on, hang on

I know you know it
‘cause we used to sing it
Just hang on, hang on

The longest year
We took the longest way around
But we’re still here
Shoulders to the wind
