I found hope in the back of a closet
Written by a child and on pieces of parchment yellowed and old
Ive never seen that kind of belief
I set to read a story of kindness where even just one kiss could change how we read this and help us get lost in the pattern so ageless it conquers the cost
When did we all resolve to growing up means stand aside
Where did the heroes go cause tonight we breathe to stand and fight
We will run til we all can feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
Well always know to close the distance
Run like its time thats chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words give up and live
To close the distance
Can you say you remember a time
when all you had was a dream and
a promise to fight when you were sure you were gone
and there wasnt a hope to carry on
well in these days we can live with a passion
we only deserve when we cherish the burden of the brothers beside when we carry the bones that cant walk on their own
When did we all resolve to growing up means stand aside
Where did the heroes go cause tonight we breathe to stand and fight
We will run til we all can feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
Well always know to close the distance
Run like its time thats chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words give up and live
To close the distance
When you say sing to me I will sing like everyone is listening
like current company think the words we speak right now mean everything
Like we all should feel the sun
Until we all can bleed as one
Until we all collapse
Well always know to close the distance
Run like its time thats chasing us
Like you will never find enough
Like you forgot the words give up and live
To close the distance
Close the distance
