We'll Only Live As Long, As We Choose To Carry On

I felt these hands of mine
I felt the sands of time
Like ghosts inside the hourglass
Like shadows of the sun

Raise your flags
By the lights of dawn
Save yourself
Save us all

Be the change you wish to see
Or find a brand new way to breathe

Set your heart to learn
Keep your bridge unburned
Push your hands into the dirt
And feel the promise of the earth

If you believe in your transgressions
You carve your deadly crimes in stone
Where power is a weapon
We watch our statues decompose
(We watch humanity unfold)

We'll only live as long
As we choose to carry on
