Lyrics

[Verse 1] I ask you to leave here tonight You knew it was planned When the world takes your heart from the fight You do what you can [Pre-Chorus 1] You're living here lost in this land So brother, don't force my hand Please let's see the forest for the trees 'Cause it's time to rise up, it's time to rise up from your knees [Chorus] This ain't no life for us, my brother This ain't no life for us You're blind to all the colours Of the life you could discover [Verse 2] This house feels cold Abandoned and quiet A son needs a warm hand to hold And a home that's kind [Pre-Chorus 2] A father who will stand in the light I won't watch you die inside For a love that was lost in the mire But it's time rise up, it's time to rise up from the fire [Chorus] This ain't no life for us, my brother This ain't no life for us, my brother This ain't no life for us, my brother This ain't no life for us You're blind to all the colours Of the life you could discover [Verse 3] The depth you've found Is a trick of the mind Is there hope for the man Whose life has let him down? [Pre-Chorus 3] There's a lot of those ghosts in this town I've seen it drag good men down So free up the shame in your pain And let it rise up, let it rise up from the flame [Chorus] This ain't no life for us, my brother This ain't no life for us, my brother This ain't no life for us, my brother This ain't no life for us You're blind to all the colours Of the life you could discover
