Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we found each other in the dark
And when the smoke does finally pass
We will rise above all the ash
'Cause were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
At last
So bright, the flames burn in our hearts
That we found each other in the dark
The beast, out in the wilderness
We are fighting to survive and convalesce
'Cause were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Were gonna live
Like the rest
Through the black soulless water
And the cold lonely air
On the rock restless seas
The vessel in deep disrepair
And I swore they started singin'
But they'd all rejoice
I can still hear your voice
Then I heard the church bells from afar
But we found each other in the dark.

I heard the church bells from afar
I was far away from civilization where church bells could still be heard but it's irrelevant because the most significant thing is that we found each other in complete darkness
But we found each other in the dark
Even though we were lost in complete darkness, we were able to find each other and that's all that matters
And when the smoke does finally pass
When all the chaos and destruction that has surrounded us finally comes to an end
We will rise above all the ash
We will overcome the destruction and start anew
'Cause were gonna live
We are going to survive and live on
Were gonna live
So bright, the flames burn in our hearts
Our passion burns so brightly that it feels like flames in our hearts
That we found each other in the dark
Our strong bond helped us find each other even in the darkest of moments
The beast, out in the wilderness
We are currently facing a challenging situation that feels like a beast lurking in the wild
We are fighting to survive and convalesce

Were gonna live
Like the rest

Through the black soulless water
We are going through dark, lifeless waters
And the cold lonely air
We are breathing in a cold, lonely atmosphere
On the rock restless seas
We are sailing on rough and turbulent waters
The vessel in deep disrepair
The boat we are in is badly damaged
And I swore they started singin'
I thought I heard people from afar start to sing
But they'd all rejoice
Those people would celebrate the end of the situation
I can still hear your voice
Even when things were chaotic, I remember hearing your reassuring voice
Then I heard the church bells from afar
Once again, I heard the sound of church bells ringing in the distance
But we found each other in the dark.
But the most significant thing was that we never lost sight of each other, even in the darkest of times

Unfortunately, on 9/11 in NYC I raced to all the places of worship and the doors were locked. Still love this song. This song has eased my heart. I was fortunate to find 3 Little Birds upon a futon.
