Birds On The Wire

Hold me now I am breaking

Eyes are raw and bones are aching

Unclench my fists for the last time today

And wish our face would fade away

All of the hours all of the sleepless nights

All of the worry trapped under blinding lights

All of the faces blank as the room is bright

We take it all just to prove wrong from right

Just to prove wrong from right

Just like birds on the wire

Strung out but never tired

When the flames grow higher

We'll soar up from the fire and start again

All of the hours all of the sleepless nights

All of the worry trapped under blinding lights

All of the faces blank as the room is bright

We'll take it all just to prove wrong from right

And we'll hold our hope

Keep your back from the rope

And we'll save our sorrow 'til we know 'til we know

They're going to send us home

Just like birds on the wire

Strung out but never tired

As the flames grow higher

We'll soar up from the fire and start again

And we'll hold our hope

Keep your back from the rope

And we'll save our sorrow 'til we know 'til we know

They're going to send us home

And we'll hold our hope

Keep your back from the rope

And we'll save our sorrow 'til we know 'til we know

They're going to send us home

Just like birds on the wire

All of the hours all of the sleepless nights

All of the worry trapped under blinding lights

All of the faces blank as the room is bright

We'll take it all just to prove wrong from right

Just to prove wrong from right

Hold me now I am breaking

Eyes are raw and bones are aching

When the night feels like it's closing in

You hold a light up and we'll start again
