It takes a lot of work to keep something alive
We've been putting all our efforts into second tries
Tired of filling up the cup
Tired of being content with just barely enoughLet there be peace
Where the city street runs
Let there be life
In the hot, dry sun
Let there be progress in my bones
Progress, and not just maintenanceI'm sick of standing by while our hearts run dry
I'm not gonna lie
I've just been going through the motions
Tired of filling up the cup
Tired of being content with just barely enoughLet there be peace
Where the city street runs
Let there be life In the hot, dry sun
Let there be progress in my bones
Progress, and not just maintenanceI want to build
Don't want to just stand stillLet there be peace
Where the city street runs
Let there be life In the hot, dry sun
Let there be progress in my bones
Progress, and not just maintenance
