Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Empty bottles
Or a cardboard box
These shattered dreams
This littered street
This broken block
[Verse 2]
Is heavy on your heart
But one thing is clear
You wanna save the world
You oughta start here
[Verse 3]
You've come a long way
Yeah, you've been blessed
Such a long way
Now go the rest
[Verse 4]
The tattered wings
Of stubborn angels
Have flown you here
Now turn the tables
Become one of
Those with amber souls
Refuse to let you fall
Refuse to let you go
[Verse 5]
Come on
You know you were never gonna make it through
When everybody else gave up on you
They walked you through the fires of hell
Now you be someone else's stubborn angel
[Verse 6]
Think about all the times
You were a cause lost
A bad bet full of regret
A long shot
[Verse 7]
Yeah, you can talk the talk
And that's just fine
But now you need to walk the walk
And maybe run a few stop signs
[Verse 8]
Because tattered wings
Of stubborn angels
Have flown you here
Now turn the tables
Become one of
Those with amber souls
Refuse to let you fall
Refuse to let you go
[Verse 9]
Come on
You know you were never gonna make it through
When everybody else gave up on you
They walked you through the fires of hell
Now you be someone else's stubborn angel
[Verse 10]
What are you waiting for?
You wanna fix this place
Turn the tables
This world could use some more
Stubborn angels
[Verse 11]
The kind that saw you through
When everybody else gave up on you
And walked you through the fires of hell
Now you be someone else's stubborn angel
[Verse 12]
Tattered wings
Stubborn angels
Have flown you here
Now turn the tables
Become one of
Those with amber souls
Refuse to let you fall
Refuse to let you go
[Verse 13]
Turn the tables
This world could use some more
Stubborn angels
