Break through the undertow, your hands I cant seem to find.
Pollution burns my tongue, cough words I can't speak so I
stop my struggling, then I float to the surface,
fill my lungs with air, then let it out.
I give it all ooh, now there's a reason why I sing.
So give it all ooh, and it's these reasons that belong to me.
Rock bottoms where we live, and still we dig these trenches,
to bury ourselves in them, backs breaking under tension.
For far too long these voices, muffled by distances,
it's time to come to our senses, up from the dirt.
We give it all ooh, now ther's a the reason why I sing.
So give it all ooh, and it's these reasons that belong to me.
Breathe(Breathe), the air we give(give), the lives we live(live), our pulses racing distances(Breathe).
So wet my tongue(give), break into song(live), through seas of competition.
So please believe your eyes, a sacrifice,
is not what we had in our minds.
I'm coming home tonight, home tonight...
We give it all ooh, now there's a reason why I sing.
So give it all ooh, and it's these reasons that belong to me.
Today I offer up myself to this. I'm living for my dying wish.
I give it all ooh, now there's a reason, there's a reason, to give it all.
Pollution burns my tongue, cough words I can't speak so I
stop my struggling, then I float to the surface,
fill my lungs with air, then let it out.
I give it all ooh, now there's a reason why I sing.
So give it all ooh, and it's these reasons that belong to me.
