17. Modern Age

Devotion
by Anberlin



 

 

Why so afraid to fall?
That was then, and this is now.
Horizons look different in a modern age.
Are we all lost, are we all lost again

Fall asleep alone.
Safer than the off-chance,
Of getting your heart attacked, one more time.
Will you ever come, will you ever come alive again?

Don’t we all, want to belong?
Don’t we all, write our own song?
Let our silence break tonight!
Don’t we all, learn right from wrong?
And don’t we all, want to be loved?
Let our silence break tonight!

Come now, elusive sign.
Open up their eyes to see,
So many of us, are just the same as you.
Have we all hid, have we all hid ourselves from friends?
So much else to give.
This is her, and that is him.
Close your eyes, imagine they are holding you.
Will you ever find, will you ever find the words again?

(Sing it!) Don’t we all, want to belong?
(Sing it!) Don’t we all, write our own song?
Let our silence break tonight!
(Sing it!) Don’t we all, learn right from wrong?
(Sing it!) And don’t we all, want to be loved?
Let our silence break tonight! (Let our silence break tonight!)

There is so much less we have to lose here.
The more we give away!
Futures will never keep the promises!
If all we hold is yesterday!

Sing it! Sing it! (Let our silence break tonight.)
(Sing it!) Don’t we all, want to belong?
(Sing it!) Don’t we all, write our own song?
Let our silence break tonight!
(Sing it!) Don’t we all, learn right from wrong?
(Sing it!) And don’t we all, want to be loved?
Let our silence break tonight!
Sing it! (Let our silence break tonight!)
Sing it! (Let our silence break tonight!)

We can’t expect to be caught if we never fall.



Behind the Song:
'This song is written for a dear friend who is too afraid to fall in love, they are so lonely but refuse to give their heart a chance. For all those who have been hurt just know that we all have, it doesn’t mean that you should lock yourself away in hopes of never getting hurt. You will be loved.' -- Stephen Christian
