Let Us Love - Live from Des Moines, IA, 5/15/10

We were born to embrace, not accept it
 We were given nothing more, and so we kept it
 As the colors of our boots keep fading
 We live a life that we hate without saying
 Who would listen to the cries of a poor man
 We've never done nothing
 How could we be something
 Every heart has an hour of existence
 Every breath brings a chance for redemption
 If somehow we could wake up
 Let us love
 Like we were children
 Make us feel
 Like we're still living
 In a world I know that's burning to the ground
 Give us time
 To beat the system
 Make us find
 What we've been missing
 In a world I know that's burning to the ground
 In the crowd of the dead and disappointed
 We're ashamed, giving up on what we wanted
 Take a chance on a long shot this time
 Aren't we all just at least worth another try
 I'm a king in the land of abuses
 Undermined by the promise of excuses
 Who's to win if we know that it's not fair
 Who would fight when it seems that no one cares
 If somehow we could wake up
 Let us love
 Like we were children
 Make us feel
 Like we're still living
 In a world I know that's burning to the ground
 Give us time
 To beat the system
 Make us find
 What we've been missing
 In a world I know that's burning to the ground
 ♪
 It's hard to stay here but where do we go
 I know we can't feel it anymore
 It's true that time is wearing us down
 We fall further and further away
 Waiting for always to change
 Let us love
 Like we were children
 Make us feel
 Like we're still living
 In a world I know that's burning to the ground

 Leave your hurting on the road behind you

 ♪
 Let the wind go with you 'til the morning comes
 Yeah, your sorrow, no it can't save you
 It won't answer for what you've done
