Lyrics

I can see the truth through the eyes
Of the world we terrorise
Can't find the will to rise above
I don't know how we can carry on
As we're left with less and less
I start to think that we don't care anymore

And it hurts like anything
And it hurts like anything
And it keeps us apart (and it keeps us apart)
Whenever, whatever, wherever

We will find a way, it's not good enough
Here's to the rise of days
The way we carry on
Holding it together
It won't will last forever
We will find a way

I can see the room left in your eyes
For the world that you despise
Can read the truth between the lies
Can't hold me now

It hurts like anything
And it hurts like anything
And it keeps us apart (and it keeps us apart)
Whenever, whatever, wherever


We will find a way, it's not good enough
Here's to the rise of days
The way we carry on
Holding it together
It won't will last forever
We will find a way

It's too late, I hear you say
To care what's going on
The more we change enough to face
The fear with open arms

And it keeps us apart (and it keeps us apart)
Whenever, whatever, wherever


We will find a way, it's not good enough
Here's to the rise of days
The way we carry on
Holding it together
It won't will last forever
We will find a way
We will find a way
We will find a way 
We will find a way (Holding it together, it won't last forever)
We will find a way
