Found on Alibi.
They tried to catch us dancin' on the line
They say we took it way too far this time
They gave us no breaks here
But we made our own I swear
I do, I do believe in you
After all that we've been through
I do, I do believe in you
And everything that we do
We used to run with the dangerous crowd
Where the flame was hot and burnin' out
We knew we'd have to give
It hit us where we lived
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you)
After all that we've been through together
You took away my darkest nights (nights)
No one else could see the light
Runnin' blind day after day
Some things never wanna change, oh, oh
We knew we'd have to give
It hit us where we lived
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you)
After all that we've been through
You took away my darkest nights (nights)
No one else could see the light
I do, I do believe in you (I do believe in you)
After all that we've been through
You took away my darkest nights (nights)
No one else could see the light ...I'd like to hike the Appalachian
I've tossed it around in my mind
but then I say to myself
boy you must be crazy
don't you know you'll never have the time
I'd like to go into the city
maybe travel for a while
hitch a ride, now there's something I can do
but I've never been more than a mile
and it might take forever
but I am all I have to show
there is a missing piece
to find before I go
three words away from a masterpiece
ten thousand miles from my home
and all my greed
and three hungry mouths to feed
I don't know if I can make it on my own
and yet it's raining up on Sharp Top
my spirit's molding me like clay
I guess we should have built further from the river bank
it's trying to wash us all away
And it might take forever
but we are all we have to show
There is a missing piece
to find before we go
This morning's battle, population
on the city street below
And Lord I dread to get up out of bed
five million footprints in the snow
And it might take forever
but I am all I have to show
There is a missing piece
to find before I go
