We Will Survive

Do you remember how we used to drive

Over the mountain and down to the river bend

Where the ghosts of the valley all haunt the tracks

The highway calls your stories back again

Oh, Jamie, I'm all alone out here

And all I used to know is in the wind

And now

I don't recognize a thing

I need a brand new song to sing

So tell me the story I still need to hear

Tell me we're gonna make it out alive again

I need to know there's nothing left to fear

There's nothing left to hide

So will you look me in the eye

And say we will survive

Someday the truth's gonna lay us bare

We're gonna raise a glass to the past and say

It's only when the straight line breaks and heals a little crooked

That you ever see the grace

Well I had to find a better place

Maybe the bend in the river's the only way

And I'm lost

Got all these voices in my head

I need some hope up there instead

So tell me the story I still need to hear

Tell me about the sun that's gonna rise again

I need to know there's nothing left to fear

There's nothing left to hide

So will you look me in the eye

Say we will survive

We will survive

Do you remember how I used to say

Love is a fire and it's gonna burn us up

To make the space for grace to grow

Now it feels like love has called my bluff

So tell me the story I still need to hear

Tell me about the love that never dies

Tell me the story I still need to hear

Tell me we're gonna make it out alive again

I need to know there's nothing left to fear

There's nothing left to hide

So when you look me in the eye

I know we will survive

We will survive

I know we will survive

I know we will survive
