There was a time when I would shatter at every hit or so
But now I barely feel the pain when I fall
This violence is turning to madness, we're getting what we sow
I'd tell you all that men are breaking, but you don't wanna know

Don't waste your life observing the slaughter
There is no time to grieve the sun

Take every chance of joy that you can find
Any love of any kind
Go catch the light and shine it all around
It's all we have to survive this world

Don't find excuses for your anger, you're drowning in sorrow
When all the reasons to stay are selfish, you must go
I'll show you what this burden is hiding, the meaning of it all
How beautiful this life can be when you don't have to crawl

Don't waste your life respecting the rulers
There is no time you need to run

Take every chance of joy that you can find
Any love of any kind
Go catch the light and shine it all around
It's all we have to survive this world
Don't think of all you had to leave behind
You're all I have to survive this world
