The Lost Summer (feat. Richard Henshall)

Mama said there'd be better days And after the rain would come the sun rays But the leaving of the clouds only made way for the fire And even though the sun rose, the smoke rose higher And now the ashes won't stop falling from the sky And when I go outside I can't help but cry Everybody's gasping for air Trying ever so hard not to choke on our prayers Please forgive them They know not what they do Please forgive them They know just what they do Mama said there'd be better days She said the hatred and the anger was just a phase But nobody wants to take high road When our cups are empty and our hearts are cold Why can't we just come together I don't wanna believe it'll be this way forever But you can't have a phoenix without the flames And just maybe we've gotta lose it all just to make a change Please forgive them They know not what they do Please forgive them They know just what they do Please forgive us We know not what we do Please forgive us We know not what we do
