The Ground

There's rumors of angels tonight But I'm not quite sure what to believe And if God's in His heaven How come all's not right with the world... And these questions can crush you And kill all your spirit And drop you straight down to your knees Where you find yourself hiding behind all Those flags left unfurled Ah, take nothing for granted hold everything dear But some things are certain and perfectly clear... Soldiers leave their blood Lovers leave their hearts Scholars leave their wisdom And poets leave their art We all leave something every time We try and take the ground... Some leave their innocence Others leave their soul Some try when they're younger Some not till they're old We all leave something every time We try and take the ground... And how many lines can they move now Till anyone knows where to stand And how many songs does it take Till you find your voice... And we've all been blindsided by Worlds that collided Now nothing's according to plan And what you do know is clearly A matter of choice... Ah, take nothing for granted hold everything dear But some things are certain and perfectly clear... Soldiers leave their blood Lovers leave their hearts Scholars leave their wisdom And poets leave their art We all leave something every time We try and take the ground... Some leave their innocence Others leave their soul Some try when they're younger Some not till they're old We all leave something every time We try and take the ground... Oh and, there are those who can get away clean They're the ones who don't even try They're the ones who believe that there Ain't much more Then gettin' out of here alive... yeah... Soldiers leave their blood Lovers leave their hearts Scholars leave their wisdom And poets leave their art We all leave something every time We try and take the ground... Some leave their innocence Others leave their soul Some try when they're younger Some not till they're old We all leave something every time We try and take the ground... We all leave something every time We try and take the ground... And we all leave something every time We try and take the ground... And we all leave something every time We try and take the ground...
