A Thousand Hands

Watch a thousand hands reach out to you,
and you cant
seem to run away from crying
(cant cry cuz it hurts)
lets just smile and play these playful games
(love or war)
lets just smile and watch them break our dreams
(this is war)

we’re alive
and we’re strong this time
so strong that it hurts
in the places where they used to liveee
shattered skis, lightening cries
and then
ooh oh oh
the chosen one’s reject their destinies

wait for it to come gentle-ly,
oh please,
watch the waves and what they say to me
( that I can’t and if…)
I could save them do you think I would?
Ooh oh oh
I if I could hold on do you think I should?

Hell, no!
just let go
you can’t save the world
and don’t try cuz it hurts
as everybody strives for meee.

We’re alive
and we’re strong this time
so strong that it hurts
in the places where you used to liveee.
Shattered skis, lightning cries
and then
ooh oh oh
the chosen ones reject their destinies.

I’ve watched a thousand hands reach out to me,
and I can’t break the rhythm of their crying
(cuz they cry when it burns)
Is this the life that I’m supposed to live?
(I don’t know)
Is sacrifice my only way to give?

Hell no!
I’ll let go,
I can’t save the world,
I won’t try cuz it hurts
as everybody strives for meee.

I’m alive
and I’m strong this time
so strong that it hurts
in the places where they used to liveee.
Shattered skis, Lightening eyes
and then
ooh oh oh,
the chosen one rejects his destiny.
