SALVATION LYRICS:
VERSE 1:
I don't care Hate sayin' prayers I'd rather swear at everybody
But it's a lonely road When you feel you're owed By a world that's left you bloodied
Can't bring myself to cry I don't know why This life is so meaningless
Don't know where I been, I'm through pretendin' God I feel so helpless I feel so depressed CHORUS:
Sister can ya hear me Take my hand Look into my eyes so I can see Oh - Oh...
Brother can ya .... help me Make a stand Show me we are one family Yeah
Everybody out there now Look at me Let your love set me free Yeah
Anybody anywhere just Take it from me You can drown in that sea
I could drown in that sea Cause you can't swim in that sea And I can't swim in that sea
VERSE 2:
I could... take a gun I could.... quit and run These are things I've often thought about
But when morning comes Would I see the sun Or be tortured still by my fears and doubts
Let me feel hope Teach me how to cope I want to lose this addiction Well
I've lost it all Now see me crawl Won't s'body please listen Won't s'body please listen
CHORUS:
2nd time Anybody anywhere don't Take it from me Just take it from
END: Jimi and Heath, River and Janis.... Kurt and Keith, Michael and Elvis.....
John and Anna, Sid and Whitney..... Jim and Andy, Hank and Amy
No they couldn't swim in that sea I can't swim in that sea
And you can't swim in that sea No we can't swim in that sea
