Intro: Verso 1: Always thought I'd Cross that river The other side Distant now As I got close it Turned and widened Horizon now, fading out Drifting in the undertow Can't spot a figure on dry land And afterthoughts of safety When in truth, none to be had None to be had Verso 2: I used to tell time By my shadow 'Til the thunderclouds They took the stage These days will end as Do the lights rays Another read of the Same page Wide awake through This deepest night Still waiting on the sun As the hours seem to multiple Find a star to solider on Living beneath a Lions paw Knowing nothing can be tamed Can be tamed Verso 3: I want this dream to last forever A wish denied to lengthen our time I wish this moment was neverending Let it be a lie that all futures die While the government Thrives on discontent And there's no such thing as clear Proselytizing and profitizing As our will all but disappears Folded over, forced in a choke hold Outnumbered and held down And all these talk of rapture Look around at the promise now Here and now Here and now Can't hold me down Can't hold me down Won't hold us down Won't hold us down Ponte: Live it out Let it out Get it out Shout it out Won't hold us down Won't hold us down Final Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Share the light Won't hold us down Hold Us Down
