lyrics

You're questing for the truth

In all of its glory

You follow what's written on the walls

By your prophets and their stories

I am searching for those answers too

When it's hard to say goodbye

To the word and the damage done

But we hold on

Today's our lucky break

We crossed that river all night

Nothing gets in our way

When we get to the crossroads

Will we sign it all away

For the word and the damage done

For a love we can save

You and I are quite a pair

Flying through the high

When the low is done

But we hold on

Today's our lucky break

We finally stepped out in the light

With our blues all erased

Nothing gets in our way

It's never too late

For us to say goodbye

To the word and the damage done

If we want to change our world

We'll have to prepare ourselves

They'll welcome all hellos

And then show us all the times

That we failed

As they squeeze another breath from our chest

And taking more and more

Until there's almost nothing left

But we hold on

Today's our lucky break

To say goodbye

To the word and the damage done

We crossed that river all night

Nothing gets in our way

It's enough to wave goodbye

To the word and the damage done

We finally stepped out in the light

Nothing gets in our way

Can turn us all around

From the word and the damage done

Out in the light

From the word and the damage done

Love on our side

From the word and the damage done

So we hold on

Today's our lucky break
