We Were Giants
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was counting on the chemicals
I was waiting on a miracle
Holding back what was inevitable
Don't go, don't go
A ray of hope is never tangible
Change is almost imperceptible
A great wave that's immeasurable
But I know, I know
We were giants once
Hold on to me
Hold on to us
Hold on to me
We were giants once
I still believe
Hold on to us
We can still be
We were giants once
I remember how it used to be
We had a confidence, a certainty
Like we were in the graces permanently
Is that so? Is that so?
Like a belief that you never see
Till you decide that it has to be
That's the way it is with you and me
And I know, I know
We were giants once
Hold on to me
Hold on to us
Hold on to me
We were giants once
I still believe
Hold on to us
We can still be
We were giants once
Oh, donʼt let go
Oh oh oh, we were giants once
Oh, donʼt let go
Oh oh oh, we were giants once
I was counting on the chemicals
I was waiting on a miracle
Holding back what was inevitable
Giants once
Hold on to me
Hold on to us
Hold on to me
We were giants once
I still believe
Hold on to us
We can still be
We were giants once
Hold on to me
Hold on to us
Hold on to me
We were giants once
I still believe
We can still be
Hold on to us
We were giants once
