When the world is crushing you
Like the pressure of the deep water blue
That surrounds you and engulfs you here
That’s when you need to be strong and live.

If all that they’ve taught me
Is that they’re not always there
To help you and guide you
Through the deepest despair

Then we all have to learn to keep on.

To keep on our guns
To keep on walking
To keep up with the run
Through the dark times of the sun

I can’t guide you from here.
It’s time you learnt to walk again
After too much time sitting down
Learn to stand up again

Remember those muscles we neglect
When we run through times that we’d rather forget
Time to smile
Time to laugh
Time to rid of regret

Maybe when you keep on
Maybe then they’ll go away
Leave us alone when they see
That they’ve not reduced us to crying on our knees

The bloody sweat is worth it in the end
When we’ve trudged on through hell and still we defend
The gates of our heaven from those who destroy
All things are good and decent in this world.

If this helps then say it, pass word around
We the suffering all stand our ground
When we feel alone and down and depressed
That is really when we can’t afford the rest

We need to stand up tall
Up against these walls
Take the pain in acid rain
And prevent heavens breach

When you fall stand up again
When you’re out of ammo beat them down
It’s not how many times we fall
But how many times we protect that wall

We stand alone here in the end
Yet still in our hands heaven depends
And although we can’t see the hope
It isn’t too far from the end of the rope

So tug at that rope
Pull them away
Take all the suffering
And throw it away

There’s always a better day
A better way
But we’ll never say
That we should do it a different way

This way is the only way
To make it through the dark day
Hold the sun in your memories
And we’ll see it again someday

Protect those gates with our suns in our minds

Heaven is safe for now…
