[Verse 1]
Clock on the wall
Cracked
Not ticking
Dust in the hall
Frames all listing
We stand still
But the world keeps breaking
I hear your name
In the silence shaking
[Pre-Chorus]
If this is all we’ve got tonight
Do we burn out or ignite?
[Chorus]
When the sands of time have stopped
And nothing’s gonna change a thing
Let it be us who turn the tide
Let it be us who feel it sting
Only love or hate can cut these chains
Only one can set us free
So let us hope we choose love
Let us hope we choose love
(choose love, choose love)
[Verse 2]
Street’s gone dark
But the sky’s still turning
Cold grey talk
Feeds a quiet burning
You take my hand
Say
“We’re not helpless”
Every small stand
Screams
“We’re not worthless”
[Pre-Chorus]
If this is all we leave behind
Is it a scar or a sign?
[Chorus]
When the sands of time have stopped
And nothing’s gonna change a thing
Let it be us who turn the tide
Let it be us who feel it sting
Only love or hate can cut these chains
Only one can set us free
So let us hope we choose love
Let us hope we choose love
(oh, choose love)
[Bridge]
We’re breaking patterns
Line by line
Old ghosts gather
Let them cry
We won’t answer
We won’t kneel
We write the ending
In how we feel
[Chorus]
When the sands of time have stopped
And nothing’s gonna change a thing
Let it be us who turn the tide
Let it be us who feel it sting
Only love or hate can cut these chains
Only one can set us free
So let us hope we choose love
Let us hope we choose love
(choose love, choose love)
