I’m gonna tell you why we keep on coming back / To the same old set of tired and rusty tracks / Dreams fade and wither over time / But you know when you’re born for something in this life / And I’m gonna tell you why we keep on keeping on / ‘Cause a song was made for us and us
for a song / It knocks on the door of your heart and you can’t deny / But to open up and let it inside // SO I SING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS / RAISE MY HANDS AND GET CAUGHT UP / IT’S JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU CAN’T RUN AWAY FROM // I’m gonna tell you why we keep on singing about / Love and faith in the things that so many people doubt / There’s a fire in us that burns from the inside out / And we don’t need to water it down
