Watch over Us

Quite hopeful and optimistic That's my usual frame of mind But this year takes the biscuit And most people that I've spoken to are probably not gonna miss it Before I go any further, this probably sounds familiar But what can I say? I grew up on Mike Skinner I'm from the streets too Not many dry eyes inside Can't believe it's come to this But when you come from the concrete You learn to count blessings And as days go by you get numb to the stresses (Oh, ohh) And the pressures Hope You're watching over us Hope You're watching over us In You I put my hope and trust 'Cause this has really broken us Hope You're watching over us Who-oa Yeah Had family, lost some Had Ps but I lost some Had jobs but I lost one And then I lost one more so I'm Looking around but they ain't got no more In deep, lost sight of the shore Life took a lot and I ain't got no more Tryna stay positive and stop those thoughts but It's claustrophobic since they locked those doors And I'm still with my bros in arms and (Yeah yeah) Gets tough but we're holding on And we kept it in but now we open up 'cause (Ye-eah) It gets hard for a lonely heart, yeah I need a reason for living Can't all be bad news (Yeah yeah) But I'm learning to play this position 'Cause if we want rhythm, I guess we need blues Hope You're watching over us Hope You're watching over us, hmm In You I put my hope and trust 'Cause this has really broken us Hope You're watching over us Oh-oh (Y-yeah yeah) Ooh ooh Ooh ooh (Yeah yeah)
