Daughters and Sons

the ghosts are out tonight in old city

they're begging me to breathe

with all the fire in the eastern sky

children learn that god's release is sleeping through the night

so these are the promises made and these are the lives that we stake

with a north star and a bastion of faith, we all make mistakes

for daughters and sons

we push and we shove

the desert winds whisper "love's never enough"

there's still this scatter in the lion's head

and this hollow in his chest

so these are the promises made and these are the lives that we stake

with a north star and a bastion of faith, we all make mistakes

for daughters and sons

we push and we shove

but the bombs in the air just turn our love to dust

daughters and sons, keep fighting for love

the war never ends but the battle's enough.
