L Y R I C S:
We salute you dear friends, who've been alone, and found their homes in the time of these trends, through skin and bone, and blood from stones.
All we need is somewhere we can rest our heads, and all we need is some shelter for these cold hands.
And she ran through the city with her head held high, a gun in hand, a tear in her eye, when the sky turned black I thought I heard her cry, if we could learn to love we'd never die.

If we could learn to love we'd never die.

Pleased to meet you, she said. I'll take your world and burn it down till your hands can't break bread, you'll lick your wounds with your eyes to the moon.
But all we need are the clothes on our backs and the dark in our eyes, and all we need are open arms and brand new skies.
And she ran through the city with her head held high, a gun in hand, a tear in her eye, when the sky turned black I thought I heard her cry, if we could learn to love we'd never die.

If we could learn to love we'd never die.

She grabbed my hair and she looked in my eye, oh hear me boy, oh hear me right. If I am the artist then you are the art, if I am the light then you are the dark, so stand for something or you'll fall for anything, stand for something...

If we could learn to love we'd never die.
