Rebuild (Acoustic) Lyrics

Why, why is this happening

The question hangs here in the dust

And I try with no success

I try just to bring it to rest

The curse and cure are out of reach

But we seek for them all our lives

I feel lost as I look down to his wondering eyes

Evergreen, we're moments away from drowning

Closer than before

Evergreen, there's no way to say what we're both thinking

Evergreen, I've had quite enough of pretending

This is what I want to be

Evergreen, let's rebuild the world for the ones we're leaving

Consider the cost

The innocent ones who will pay

The daily debt we build isn't going away

As forests burn, and kingdoms fall

Will we wake up to give them the keys to the future

The curse and cure are out of reach

But we seek for them all our lives

I feel lost as I look down to her wondering eyes

Evergreen, we're moments away from drowning

Closer than before

Evergreen, there's no way to say what we're both thinking

Evergreen, I've had quite enough of pretending

This is what I want to be

Evergreen, let's rebuild the world for the ones we're leaving

Look at what this has done to us

This is not what ought to be

Can we find the light ahead

Truth is there, you hold the keys

Forgive me

Forgive us

Lead us on to find a better rest

Forgive me

Forgive us

Lead us on to find a better rest

There will be a day when I will stand before his face

And tell the choices that I made

What will I say but

Forgive me

Forgive us

Lead us on to find a better rest
