Campfire Song

(album: A Billion Heartbeats - 2020)

Once we hit the line then we thought it fair
Look in the ads and you would find it there
Sleeping at night wrapped up in our beds
Safe from the world so we wouldn't be scared

Maybe we were let off too light in the past
Teachers gave us medals for coming last
But ain't it funny how the bottom kids in class
Always seem to be the ones who have the last glass

'Cause we didn't give up, no, we didn't give up
We didn't give up, no no no
We didn't give up, no, we didn't give up
No no no

So we grew our hair and sharpened our claws
Until we saw the writing on the wall
Marched in a thousands against a war
Nobody could give us a straight answer for
And it's hardest to feel it, the fire to fight
Molly said everything's gonna be alright
But we couldn't look our parents in the eye
Everybody choosing different sides

Hold on to what's inside
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Somewhere in your eyes
There is a spirit that will never die
You gotta hold on, yeah you gotta try
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Hold on, yeah you gotta fight
And take it with you till the day you die

Twenty years of education and still
No one taught us how to love ourselves until
We danced in the corner of an English field
Then in the morning all of our fates were sealed

Try to fix our broken hearts with drugs
To rip out the feeling of never being enough
But how the hell are we to know what the damage does
Losing yourself to someone you love too much

Hold on to what's inside
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Somewhere in your eyes
There is a spirit that will never die
Hold on, yeah you gotta try
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Hold on, yeah you gotta fight
And keep it with you through the lonely nights

Staring at the ceiling
Or climbing up the walls
Try to find a meaning
The meaning of it all
When that old familiar feeling
Keeps coming 'round to call
It goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on

We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up
We'll never give up, no no no
We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up
We'll never give up, no no no

No no no
No no no no no
No no no
No no no no no no

Hold on to what's inside
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Somewhere in your eyes
There is a spirit that will never die
You gotta old on, yeah you gotta try
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
So hold on, yeah you gotta fight
And take it with you to the other side

(You gotta hold on)
Take it with you to the other side
Take it with you to the other side
(You gotta hold on)
Take it with you to the other side
Take it with you to the other side
(You gotta hold on)
Take it with you to the other side
Take it with you to the other side
