We Will Songtext
von Andrew & Polly
We Will Songtext
See, there′s a box with a puzzle in it
It's of a world we want to live in
Many pieces have gone missing
I doubt that they′ll be found
This will always be unfinished
Will you leave the box where it is?
Forget the space it's taking
All that dust collecting
And every time you pass it
You wish that it was different
Or you can try your best to change it (try, try)
When you pull through the pieces (your best to change it)
Create something surprising (something surprising)
As culture reaches sky raising (reaches sky raising)
As we been thinking (thinking), what could we do?
Well, I'm not sure of the answer
And it′s hard to choose where to begin
But we′ve got to move forward, find a way through from under
Make every day a promise to be good to one another
The problems so big, they can't be seen
The problems so hard, they feel beyond fixing
We can do better, and we will
I′m a part of this mosaic
Lost in art that has no edges
Can I see myself, my privilege, and every color?
I'll step back and get respected
Stand still (stand still) and try to listen
Hear a song someone else is singing
Learn the history they′re bringing
Shout it out, and help make it loud
Well, I'm not sure of the answer
And it′s hard to choose where to begin
But we've got to move forward, find a way through from under
Make every day a promise to be good to one another
The problems so big, they can't be seen
The problems so hard, they feel beyond fixing
We can do better, and we will
And I′m sorry we′ve made such a mess of it all
And I'm sorry that every day the headlines are awful
And I′m sorry we're leaving so much for you to solve
Going to this knowing it won′t be easy
We're here doing all we can to help you be ready
To take this on, and you′re so strong
So please take this on
We'll never be sure of the answers
Always hard to choose where to begin
But we've got to move forward, find a way through from under
Make every day a promise to be good to one another
The problems so big, they can′t be seen
The problems so hard, they feel beyond fixing
We can do better, and we will
It's of a world we want to live in
Many pieces have gone missing
I doubt that they′ll be found
This will always be unfinished
Will you leave the box where it is?
Forget the space it's taking
All that dust collecting
And every time you pass it
You wish that it was different
Or you can try your best to change it (try, try)
When you pull through the pieces (your best to change it)
Create something surprising (something surprising)
As culture reaches sky raising (reaches sky raising)
As we been thinking (thinking), what could we do?
Well, I'm not sure of the answer
And it′s hard to choose where to begin
But we′ve got to move forward, find a way through from under
Make every day a promise to be good to one another
The problems so big, they can't be seen
The problems so hard, they feel beyond fixing
