Hey You
Day of Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From New York to New Orleans
Over the mountain tops through hills of Tennessee
I've walked the miles with wounded knee
Yeah
(The ghost on the water he comes)
Search lights shining everywhere, yeah
Hey you, tell me what you want from me
(Hey you)
I'll give you everything you need
I don't want to be lost
I just want to be loved by you
Hey you, tell me what you want from me
(Hey you)
I'm broken and I'm on my knees
I don't want to be lost
I just want to be loved by you
I've seen the bullets fly for love and liberty
Fighting the war inside of me
My heart has taken sides a battle to believe
The angel armies carry me
Yeah
(The ghost on the water he comes)
Sick and tired of running scared, yeah
(To save us from all of our own)
Hey you, tell me what you want from me
(Hey you)
I'll give you everything you need
I don't want to be lost
I just want to be loved by you
Hey you, tell me what you want from me
(Hey you)
I'm broken and I'm on my knees
I don't want to be lost
I just want to be loved by you
I want it all from you
I want it all from you
Tell me what you want from me
I'll give you everything you need
I don't wanted, I just want to be
Hey you, tell me what you want from me
(Hey you)
I'm broken and I'm on my knees
I don't want to be lost
I just want to be loved by you
Hey you, tell me what you want from me
(Hey you)
I'm broken and I'm on my knees
I don't want to be lost
I just want to be loved by you
Hey you
Hey you
Hey you
