[Verse 1]
We walk beneath the Sky
Chasing after something
While the skyline trembles in the fire
We build our little kingdoms
And call them our protection
But no one, no nobody
Can hand you back your desire
[Chorus]
So we climb, beyond love
Beyond hate
Through this burning world that's settling beneath our skin
Beyond sorrow and into freedom
[Verse 2]
Oh, that's life
Falling through the cracks
Of a future left unfinished
Underneath the weight of yesterday
Endless voices feeding fear
Until we forget what we were
And let the silence name us
[Chorus]
But we climb, beyond love
Beyond hate
Through this burning world that's settling beneath our skin
Beyond sorrow and into freedom
[Refrain]
You've just got to carry on
You've just got to carry on
[Interlude —Spoken]
“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.”
[Chorus]
And we'll climb
Beyond love
Beyond hate
Through this burning world that's settling beneath our skin
Beyond sorrow and into freedom
Into freedom
[Chorus]
From here we'll climb
Beyond love
Beyond hate
Through every shadow trying to become our skin
Beyond sorrow and into
Freedom, freedom
From here we'll climb
Beyond love
Beyond hate
Through every shadow trying to become our skin
Beyond sorrow and into freedom
Freedom, freedom
[Outro]
Oh, wash over me
Wash over me
Let the morning come
Let the morning come
