Lyrics

[00:29.000] Everything that doesn't aspire
[00:31.500] to anything good will never be heard
[00:36.000] Gathering the bricks and the dust,
[00:38.500] he pots and the cups, the rhymes and the words
[00:43.000] Leaving all the fields where we buried our dreams
[00:46.000] And the pride and the ambition that went up in the seems
[00:50.000] Heading for the mountains and the valleys again
[00:53.000] Where the water still holds the boats that carried us in
[00:56.000] But I'll keep singing your name
[00:58.500] Leaving everything, whatever it takes
[01:03.000] I'll keep singing your name
[01:05.500] Running from the ashes into the lakes
[01:10.000] But I'll keep singing your name
[01:12.500] Leaving everything, whatever it takes
[01:17.000] I'll keep singing your name
[01:19.500] Running from the ashes into the lakes
[01:44.000] We'll carve our names in the trees
[01:46.500] and leave them there in the sand for the waves to roll in
[01:51.000] We won't let the others forget
[01:53.500] what we thought we had said, so we'll say it again
[01:58.000] Leaving all the fields where we buried our dreams
[02:01.000] And the pride and the ambition that went up in the seems
[02:05.000] Heading for the mountains and the valleys again
[02:08.000] Where the water still holds the boats that carried us in
[02:12.000] But I'll keep singing your name
[02:14.500] Leaving everything, whatever it takes
[02:18.500] I'll keep singing your name
[02:21.000] Running from the ashes into the lakes
[02:25.500] But I'll keep singing your name
[02:28.000] Leaving everything, whatever it takes
[02:32.500] I'll keep singing your name
[02:35.000] Running from the ashes into the lakes
[02:41.500] Will our hearts collapse together
[02:47.500] As the heavens spiral in?
[02:54.000] Could your arms reach out forever
[03:01.000] And carry me again?
[03:06.500] But I'll keep singing your name
[03:09.000] Leaving everything, whatever it takes
[03:13.000] I'll keep singing your name
[03:15.500] Running from the ashes into the lakes
[03:20.000] But I'll keep singing your name
[03:22.500] Leaving everything, whatever it takes
[03:27.000] I'll keep singing your name
[03:29.500] Running from the ashes into the lakes
[03:34.000]
