Lyrics

BEHOLDEN

When the river’s gone around the other side
When the leaves fall down and then the river’s dry
We don’t stop to try & make sense of why
We accept the change and breathe into the night

Ah(s)

When the comfort of the sun is in our eyes
And the symphony of life is passing by
We still run around, ignore the sunrise
We got bigger things in mind

When we come down
It leaves us compromised, in strong denial
When we come down
We will be traumatized, lost inside
When we come down
We will be sullen-eyed, drowned in pride
If we calmed down
We could be mesmerized, gratified

Emboldened, we run ‘round
Thinkin’ it will last forever
If only we could pause…

Will we ever get to see another life?
Well, we don’t know, so we keep pleading, askin’ why
Can’t we ever just give thanks, be satisfied
For just one day before we die?

When we come down
It leaves us compromised, in strong denial
When we come down
We will be traumatized, lost inside
When we come down
We will be sullen-eyed, drowned in pride
If we calmed down
We could be mesmerized, gratified

Beholden, we should fly
‘Cause nothin’ ever lasts forever
If only we would try

Ooo(s)
Na~na~na(s)
