lyrics

This morning's got us noble know-it-alls huddling for comfort
From the tide we just discovered
Here we stand such dedicated soldiers, foreheads pressed on shoulders
Whispering, "One day it'll all be over"

But I don't want to wait on a midnight rider
I don't want to hold hands with the past
It's so easy to forget when the sun gets brighter
So I'm calling on this thundercloud to last

Don't you carry on, and don't you tell me everything's okay
I have a right to be afraid
What we've done and what's to come can never truly be erased
So I'm not praying for a change

I don't want to preach to a hunchbacked choir
I'll say my incantations in the streets
Put away your pride and take off your blinders
Take a look at everything you see

Don't you smile and say that all in all what we all want's the same
The only difference is the name
What we've done and what's to come can never truly be erased
There's more to fire than the flame

(It's so easy to forget when the sun gets brighter)
Don't you carry on, and don't you tell me everything's okay
(So I'm calling on this thundercloud to last)
I have a right to be afraid
(It's so easy to forget when the sun gets brighter)
What we've done and what's to come can never truly be erased
(So I'm calling on this thundercloud to last)
So I'm not praying for a change
