I've taken so many down, I've helped them all to dismount.
|
I've followed so many down, I take their hand me downs.
|
All with hope, all with hope that
|
Emptiness brings fullness and
|
Loss of love brings wholeness to us all.
|
Everything that I believe crawls from underneath the streets.
|
Everything I truly love comes from somewhere high above.
|
Everything that I believe is wrong with you is wrong with me.
|
Everything I truly love I love in you and I love in me.
|
So give me hope, give me hope that
|
Emptiness brings fullness and
|
Loss of love brings wholeness to us all.
|
Swear you can't swim the river,
|
I saw you running to jump in.
|
I swore I would never be your sinner,
|
Until I held your sin.
|
Now you ask me why I'm here.
|
The same as you, I'm scared - it's fear.
|
I've become the beggar now, you've become the saint somehow.
|
Twist the words and place the blame. Tell me now aren't we the same?
|
Tripping in our yellow feet, checking underneath our sheets,
|
For some hope, give me hope that
|
Emptiness brings fullness and
|
Loss of love brings wholeness to us all.
