Songs About Beliefs Lyrics

I used to be hopeful that if we kept believing then all of these mountains could be turned around

Once our generation became cops and politicians then we would make a difference and make the world change

But ideals turn to hope and hopes turn to dust, and it gets in your eyes and it gets in your thoughts

Now the names and faces have changed but somehow all of the shit piles up exactly the same

But we used to sing for the whole world to hear, open our hearts and forget our fears

We would rather die standing on our feet than live on our knees

If it mattered once to dream like this, we can make it matter now

Cause we might be broken but we're still not beaten and we never fought this fight just to win

There’re are mistakes waiting to be made and thoughts and ideas still left to get

So fuck all this talk about getting older, we should be talking about getting better

Yeah, where is your anger? You see the same things as me and no one will do it if we don't stand up

And we can sing for the whole world to hear, forget our depressions and challenge our fears

And overcome impossible odds, get back on our feet

If it mattered once to dream like this, we can make it matter now

Let's make this matter

Rise and sing, all of my fallen friends

If just for tonight, live our beliefs

Rise and sing, all of my fallen friends

Let’s be the change we want to see

Yeah, let us sing for the whole world to hear, expose our hearts, our hopes and ideas

And for once be true to ourselves and make things matter

If it mattered once to dream like this, we can make it matter now
