lyrics

‘Passenger’

Sometimes we choose to hide
Caught up in the trappings of this modern life
So let me ask you my friend
How long will you pretend

Hold yourself back you’re too afraid to let your true self slip outside
Talk to someone you aint seen their face but it passes away the time
I had a little bit of love last night I got to thinking there could be something more
I had a chance to reflect on my life I saw a faith I need to restore

I got this feeling
I want a world to believe in
But the hope they’re stealing
There must be something done
I gotta stand up and fight it
I get a little self righteous
But I can’t let it go when my back’s against the wall
And they’re ready just to sell us off

I see no justice around the world I could sit here talking up all night
In the west money power equals respect it’s time to put this shallow world to rights
I had a little bit of love last night I got to thinking there must be something more
I got thinking there must be some way that we all can even up the score

I got this feeling
I want a world to believe in
But the hope they’re stealing
There must be something done
I gotta stand up and fight it
I get a little self righteous
But I can’t let it go when my back’s against the wall

Sometimes we choose to hide
Caught up in the trappings of this modern life
So let me ask you my friend
When’s it gonna end?

Won’t be a passenger on my own ride
Won’t be a passenger on my own ride
Keep asking, keep asking why why why
Keep asking, keep asking why why why

Keep asking, keep asking why why why
Keep asking, keep asking why why why
