Times Like These

The lakes and pines, they bleed of beauty and grace

And the rivers, they run wild like an endless race

The forests soar so high then fall to the sea

As church bells ring and sing in harmonyI heard them say they're shutting Detroit down

But I won't leave 'cause this is my hometownAnd it's times like these we can't replace

It's times like these we must embrace

And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees

It makes us who we are in times like theseThe concrete and steel stand strong against the wind

With the memories of what was and what has been

The sounds of sweet soul music and blue-collar blues

There were 17 colors for a Chevy, all red, white and blueI heard them say that you can't save that town

But I won't leave, I will stand my groundAnd it's times like these we can't replace

It's times like these we must embrace

And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees

It makes us who we are in times like theseThe ice and snow give way to a new spring bloom

In the wake that hope and faith they will be home soon

A new day dawns as the good Lord shines from above

'Cause in the rubble and rust there remains a whole lotta loveAnd I was here watching it all go down

And I'll still be when it comes back aroundAnd it's times like these we can't replace

It's times like these we must embrace

And even though it's bittersweet and brings us to our knees

It makes us who we are in times like theseIt makes us who we are in times like these

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
