I've taken the breath out of everything they believe I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart Sucked the life out of this, for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort No one gets the

Did you let me go For the good life Get you one night in the sun Oh, baby I'm going on When the laureate could tell us why And no preacher could decide Tell me now, oh, baby I'm going on When there is no map, no good advice And no road to paradise

Feel the chain no longer holds Finding yourself or you find that soul Reaching for answers that no one knows I've sung the blues for every broken heart in here Time to light up this joint with some boogie woogie Feelings move your hips I've too felt love

Reach the sun Ooh reach the sun Sometimes you're feeling stronger Sometimes you're feeling weak Sometimes you're feeling colder But the light will bring the heat Sometimes you're feeling lucky Sometimes you're feeling numb But if you don't stop believing,

When your chips are down When your highs are low Reaching for the light Knowing we can't win It's getting close to sundown over the Sierra Stranded on the freeway burning with desire She was on the sidewalk looking for a night light

We can't feel ordinary love And we can't reach any higher, If we can't deal with ordinary love We can't fall any further if The sea wants to kiss the golden shore The sunlight warms your skin All the beauty that's been lost before wants to find us again

They put their trust in us They're gonna be like us Sunday morning, I heard the preacher say Thou shall not kill I don't wanna hear nothing else about killing And that it's God's will 'Cause our children are watching us So let's learn from our history

You will be found You are not alone 'Cause you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again You are not alone (You are not alone) Even when the dark comes crashing through When you need a friend to carry you So let the sun come streaming in When you’re broken on

They're wrong That we're estranged and all alone They believe nothing can reach us And pull us out of the boundless gloom Yeah, baby, they're wrong They'll say, no one can see us They'll say the sun is dying And the fragile can't be saved And the cold,

And that sun is shinin' down On all my darker days They're comin' to me now As I hear the preacher say In the name of the Son and the Father Got a whole lot of years And a whole lot of pain And it all got me here Where the river meets the clay
