Recollection

Running home when this is over
Wouldn't that be nice?
Calling all of our friends again
Making plans being free again
Sitting down at the dinner table
Wouldn't that be nice?
Dreaming back to the way things were
Can we live this life in reverse?
We just gotta learn to accept
Nothing ever really goes as we had wished
We blindly follow down the path this world has drawn us, has drawn us
I see a future lying ahead
It's coming after all of this has passed
There is meaning in this life further than we know of, we know of
We will return home
We will return
And when we're back we are never leaving
And when we're back we are taking what is ours
And when we're back we are never leaving
We are taking what belongs to us
We just gotta learn to accept
Nothing ever really goes as we had wished
We blindly follow down the path
This world has drawn us, has drawn us
I see a future lying ahead
It's coming after all of this has passed
There is meaning in this life further than we know of, we know of
Things will happen we don't expect
Whatever comes our way we will do our best
To make sure that we secure our own survival, survival
To all the hopeful hearts we have left
We need your help, we are asking for your hand
Let's put our strength to test so we can fight back, we'll fight back
Counting down to the final day
Of the days we spend when the sky's always dark
Picking up where we left and marching feet until we hit home
Do you feel you can trust yourself
To be everything that you couldn't before?
Will you hesitate and watch your allies fall down?
Well come witness this
Re-collection of the broken hearts
Let it be motivation for saving
Those we can before they've gone too far
Let it be motivation to save ourselves
We just gotta learn to accept
Nothing ever really goes as we had wished
We blindly follow down the path this world has drawn us, has drawn us
I see a future lying ahead
It's coming after all of this has passed
There is meaning in this life further than we know of, we know of
Things will happen we don't expect
Whatever comes our way we will do our best
To make sure that we secure our own survival, survival
To all the hopeful hearts we have left
We need your help, we are asking for your hand
Let's put our strength to test so we can fight back, we'll fight back
