SAVAGES (by BLACK DOVE)

SAVAGES Lyrics by Steven Carlton [Instrumental Intro] [Verse] We are savages What do we deserve? When we see what we've done Do we have the nerve? To beg for mercy From our God above Forgive us our sins Teach us to love [Verse] They say that suffering Is the way that we grow It hurts so bad There's no way that they know I think they just guess The answer's not plain If they think that peace Only comes from our pain [Bridge] Oooh, ahh oohh [Chorus] Come count with me one, two, and three Footsteps gently fall As we answer the call When the pathway is stepped And our promises kept We're no longer enraged The fear has been caged When the battles all cease And at last we have peace We can live for tomorrow Leaving our sorrow behind [Instrumental interlude] Ooooh, ahhhh ahhhh, ooooh [Break] [Verse] Have we been left behind? Did we miss the Rapture? Where did everyone go? Did we cause this disaster? To move ahead first look back There's always been a lesson Hidden in plain sight Just don't expect a confession [Verse] From the moment we're born Until we take our last breath We struggle for purpose Try to outrace death Life is so much more Than just being alive We have to love each other If we want to survive [Bridge] [Chorus] Come count with me one, two, and three Footsteps gently fall As we answer the call When the pathway is stepped And our promises kept We're no longer enraged The fear has been caged When the battles all cease And at last we have peace We can live for tomorrow Leaving our sorrow behind [Interlude] Ooooh, oooh ooh [Outro] Leave it all behind Leave it all behind Leave it all behind [End] Leave it all behind
