Lyrics
Tonight
(verse)
He wipes his brow on the years they dry away
And I ask where are we now?
I did not listen to his words of wisdom
His actions were too loud
(verse)
He wipes his brow on the years they dry away
And I ask where are we now?
I did not listen to his words of wisdom
His actions were too loud, yeah
(chorus)
Oh and tonight we fight our own
Oh and tonight we fight our own
Oh and tonight we fight our own
One finger can?t pick up a pebble
We just cast the stone
Tonight half this city?s overgrown
(verse)
Eight million stories hit the wall
And we have learned to take the fall
There?s a time for crying, there?s a time for dying
But there?s no time for it all
(chorus)
And tonight we fight our own
And tonight we fight our own
Well and tonight we fight our own
One finger can?t pick up a pebble
We just cast the stone
Tonight half this city?s overgrown
(solo)
(chorus)
Yeah? oh and tonight we fight our own
Oh and tonight we fight our own
Oh and tonight we fight our own
One finger can?t pick up a pebble
We just cast the stone
Tonight half this city?s overgrown (2x)
