Lyrics
Everyday I awake, life just seems the same to me
The more I try the further I have lost my peace
and you think that this is some point I'm trying to make?
All along everyone has watched,
Why do we watched the bow break?
After all we can't give up, stay down, lay low until we figure things out
All we want here is some peace of mind to find a spot in the sun until the day turns to night
Sunshine beaming from the sky, got a feeling - think that I'm finally breaking through
But just when I had thought it's safe the world comes crashing down to make a different place for me, not just me, but you
After all we can't give up, stay down, lay low until we figure things out
All we want here is some peace of mind to find a spot in the sun until the day turns to night
Everyday we awake, there's got to be another way
We set our sights to high and far and wide again
to be over-worked, over-spent and self-acclaimed
Good-bye sun hello moon we lost another day.
After all we can't give up, stay down, lay low until we figure things out
All we want here is some peace of mind to find a spot in the sun until the day turns to night
