Andrew Roachford Laurent Wolf Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are we poor ? Why are we weak
Why are we lost in humanity
Some things are right, wome things are wrong
Some of the things that we can see
So just (?), children dying, about society
Sky is darker, night is deeper, how can we change activally

Survive, people, survive the people, survive, people, survive the people

Oh oh oh people, people survive yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah, all right, oh yeah, all right
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah, all right, ouh yeah
Got to find a good way to stand up for brother
Got to find a good way to stand up for brother
Got to find a good way to stand up for brother
Brother, brother, brother, brother

Why are we just waiting in vain for a new day that never came
Why are we so much in pain ? Why do things do feel the same

Survive, people, survive the people, survive, people, survive the people
Oh oh oh people, people survive yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah, all right, oh yeah, all right
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah, oh yeah, all right, ouh yeah
Got to find a good way to stand up for brother

Got to find a good way to stand up for brother
Brother, brother, brother, brother
