The Key
T.C. Crew Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say we're all in the pursuit of happiness
A life that's fabulous we fight for our beliefs
Like an activist
The struggles here can be found across the atlas
And it started when Adam chose
To give up his palace
Now the earth waits for its rightful owner two thousand years ago the 2nd Adam
Told us the kingdom is at hand, died for the sins of man just

So he can where we rule over the
Land meet every demand while nature waits for kings
To take a stand so we need to understand we
Can change our circumstances
The kingdom is therefore we choose when to advance it

You got the keys inside this kingdom,
Lift up your head is only begun, keep holding on and
You'll see the son everybody sing it now

You got the keys inside this kingdom,
Lift up your head is only begun, keep holding on and
You'll see the son everybody sing it now

I heard you say that
You would die for me gladly give your life for me,
Cry for me, all so I could call you
When I'm so in need of promises you've spoken,
My heart was always broken cause
You gave the keys to life
But in my pride I had them stolen,
You say that you redeem us
And bring us to a place
Where we can see the keys can never be stolen
They just misplaced and so we
Rise from the ashes,
Stand before the masses proclaim the victory is ours
And so we never give up,
Even though times get hard to understand,
Its never enough for us to sit back and hope he
Has a plan we gotta stand up
And face the cold with a boldness
That is focused on the fact we
Have the keys so just believe there's nothing closed

So many promises you gave,
And we just turned and walked away

But now I see the price you paid
Was enough for us to live victorious
