Justice
Lukas Rieger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't explain the way the world works baby
I'm not known for being wise
I know the pain that you've been feeling lately
Also carry deep inside

Your head is heavy and your feelings worn out
Just put your hand in mine and try
Forget your troubles and we'll leave the world behind for now
Until we finde the strength to turn this thing around somehow
No, love can be destructive
Hold on 'til we see a little justice

I can't explain the way that things are changing
It's like we've got nowhere to hide
It hurts to see your heart is breaking
So unfair you don't know why

Your head is heavy and your feelings worn out
Just put your hand in mine and try

Forget your troubles and we'll leave the world behind for now
Until we finde the strength to turn this thing around somehow
No, love can be destructive
Hold on 'til we see a little justice

Some will come, some will go, some will shed a light
Some will hurt, some will care, some will pick a fight
But our love will be greater
But our love will be greater
Some will come, some will go, some will shed a light
Some will hurt, some will care, some will pick a fight
But our love will be greater
But our love will be greater

Forget your troubles and we'll leave the world behind for now
Until we finde the strength to turn this thing around somehow
No, love can be destructive
Hold on 'til we see a little justice




(No, love can be destructive)
(Hold on) 'Til we see a little justice
