Down

It took his breath away, holding the bank page

He got the letter they're gonna take their house away

About to have a daughter, he yells it in the air

Feeling the weight of a world that just don't care

He lit a cigarette, felt in on his lip

Driving home on a long road with regret

He pull's the window down, shout's it out loud

Pushing the pedal and praying, "Lord, help us now"

He's looking for a reason, watching the sun coming down

Can he hear when we call?

There when we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs "Hallelujah"

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby, when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming 'round now

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's coming 'round now

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

It was Monday night under the street lights

She's turning seventeen in seven nights

Out on the fairgrounds walking in mono tone

She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul

On the road alone in a house that's half a home

They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone

She's looking for a reason, watching the sun coming down

Can he hear when we call?

There when we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs "Hallelujah"

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby, when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Take these broken streets, take these broken dreams

Hold my hand like we were walking free

Tell me it'll change, I see it in your face

Hope, the fear, the love, the faith

I'm working late again, slaving to make the rent

I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement

They're coming one by one, the face of falling love

I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cups

Can he hear when we call?

There when we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs "Hallelujah"

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby, when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Can he hear when we call?

There when we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

At the top of our lungs, how far we've come

Where pain and love bleed into one

All that we need it's so bitter sweet

The pain that opens our eyes to see

Baby, when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming 'round now

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's coming down now

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Coming down now

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

It's coming down now
