Life Cuts You Down (v2)

Day after day

Looking for peace

Looking for love

Trying to find your way

Then the sickle swings round

And life cuts you down

Verse 1

Concrete

Cold feet

I push against the heavy wooden door

Nails scratching on the floor

Trying to find a gap

A little map

Maybe just a crack in the wall

Waiting for the call

Waiting for the sign

Waiting for the line to move forward

Chorus

The current pulls us out to the deep

The mountain is jagged and steep

But I am clawing

Yes I am clawing

I am clawing my way to the light

Through the middle of the night

Just to feel the sun on my face

In this crowded place

In this crowded place

Verse 2

Shoulders

Cold boulders

Everyone is reaching for the prize

Dust stingin' in my eyes

Staring at the heels in front of me

Hard to see

Hard to breathe

Salt on my tongue

Hope is high but I am young and tired

My engine is fired

My spirit is wired to run

Chorus

The current pulls us out to the deep

The mountain is jagged and steep

But I am clawing

Yes I am clawing

I am clawing my way to the light

Through the middle of the night

Just to feel the sun on my face

In this crowded place

In this crowded place

Bridge

There are millions of faces

Searching for the same open spaces

Walking on the wire

Walking through the fire

Walking until the world lets us in

Let us in

Let us in

Chorus

The current pulls us out to the deep

The mountain is jagged and steep

But I am clawing

Yes I am clawing

I am clawing my way to the light

Through the middle of the night

Just to feel the sun on my face

In this crowded place

In this crowded place

Outro

Day after day

Looking for peace

Looking for love

Trying to find your way

Then the sickle swings round

And life cuts you down

But I am still here

I am still here

Looking for peace

Looking for love
