Standing In The Breach Lyrics - Standing In The Breach - Jackson Browne

And though the earth may tremble and our foundations crack 

We will all assemble and we will build them back 

And rush to save the lives remaining still within our reach 

And try to put our world together standing in the breach 

So many live in poverty while others live as kings 

Though some may find peace 

In the acceptance of all that living brings 

I will never understand however they've prepared 

How one life may be struck down and another life be spared 

And though the earth may tremble and cast our works aside 

And though our efforts resemble the fluctuating tide 

We rise and fall with the trust and belief 

That love redeems us each 

And bend our backs and hearts together standing in the breach

You don't know why it's such a far cry 

From the world this world could be 

You don't know why but you still try 

For the world you wish to see 

You don't know how it will happen now 

After all that's come undone 

But you know the change the world needs now 

Is there, in everyone 

The unpaid debts of history 

The open wounds of time 

The laws of human nature always tugging from behind 

I want to think that the earth can heal 

And that people might still learn 

How to meet this world's true challenges 

And that the course we're on could turn 

Photos 

And though the earth may tremble and the oceans pitch and rise 

We will all assemble and we will lift our eyes 

To the tasks that we know lie before us 

And the power our prayers beseech 

And cast our souls into the heavens, standing in the breach 

You don't know why it's such a far cry 

From the world this world could be 

You don't know why but you still try 

For the world you wish to see 

You don't know how it's going to happen now 

After all that's come undone 

And you know the world you're waiting for may not come 

No it may not come 

But you know the change the world needs now 

Is there, in everyone
