Andrew Peterson - We Will Survive lyrics
[Andrew Peterson - We Will Survive lyrics]
Do you remember how we used to drive
Over the mountain and down to the river bend
Where the ghosts of the valley
All haunt the tracks
The highway calls your stories back again
Oh, Jamie, I'm all alone out here
And all I used to know is in the wind
And now i don't recognize a thing
I need a brand new song to sing
So tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me we're gonna make it out alive again
I need to know there's nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to hide
So will you look me in the eye
And say we will survive
Someday the truth's gonna lay us bare
We're gonna raise a glass to the past and say
It's only when the straight line breaks
And heals a little crooked
That you ever see the grace
Well I had to find a better place
Maybe the bend in the river's the only way
And I'm lost got all these voices in my head
I need some hope up there instead
So tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me about the sun that's gonna rise again
I need to know there's nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to hide
So will you look me in the eye
Say we will survive we will survive
Do you remember how I used to say
Love is a fire and it's gonna burn us up
To make the space for grace to grow
Now it feels like love has called my bluff
So tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me about the love that never dies
Tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me we're gonna make it out alive again
I need to know there's nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to hide
So when you look me in the eye
I know we will survive we will survive
I know we will survive
I know we will survive
Over the mountain and down to the river bend
Where the ghosts of the valley
All haunt the tracks
The highway calls your stories back again
Oh, Jamie, I'm all alone out here
And all I used to know is in the wind
And now i don't recognize a thing
I need a brand new song to sing
So tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me we're gonna make it out alive again
I need to know there's nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to hide
So will you look me in the eye
And say we will survive
Someday the truth's gonna lay us bare
We're gonna raise a glass to the past and say
It's only when the straight line breaks
And heals a little crooked
That you ever see the grace
Well I had to find a better place
Maybe the bend in the river's the only way
And I'm lost got all these voices in my head
I need some hope up there instead
So tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me about the sun that's gonna rise again
I need to know there's nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to hide
So will you look me in the eye
Say we will survive we will survive
Do you remember how I used to say
Love is a fire and it's gonna burn us up
To make the space for grace to grow
Now it feels like love has called my bluff
So tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me about the love that never dies
Tell me the story I still need to hear
Tell me we're gonna make it out alive again
I need to know there's nothing left to fear
There's nothing left to hide
So when you look me in the eye
I know we will survive we will survive
I know we will survive
I know we will survive
