Ours (Jimmy Gnecco) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teach him to be Ours
In his heart he couldn't ever find
'cause he might take his life
Teach him to be Ours
[chorus]
We went blind
Couldn't see and dying
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
It's hard pretending that it's not
Still we're reaching
What do we want?
[chorus]
We went blind
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Could'nt sleep and dying
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek
Mercy for the meek, I won't let you go...
I won't leave you now

He believes he belongs to us in his heart
Teach him to be Ours

We lost our way
Waiting for a sign, just waiting for a sign
Hoping for any indication of direction

Difficult to maintain the facade of ignorance
Still we're reaching
Yet we keep striving
What do we want?
What is it that we truly desire?
