Presence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We will, we will ride forever.
Time is all we have, now or never.
Trade our lives to come together.
We will, we will ride forever.
We're taking all our chances, this all we know. I've got all the strength I need with my people behind me. We'll stay as long as we can, no one can tell us to go. Now we're turning nothing into something someday.
We will, we wil ride forever.
Time is all we have, now or never.
Trade our lives to come together.
We will, we will ride forever.
I can promise you one thing, we won't play by your rules anymore...anymore.
For love this is mine!
It's all mine!
Everything is mine!
It's all mine!
We will, we will ride forever.
Time is all we have, now or never.
Trade our lives to come together.
We will, we will ride forever now, starting now...starting now...starting now.
