This Time It’s Personal

Lyrics

[Verse 1] From every rooftop they are crying out I don't know how, but it all starts to sound the same to me And when these fields are overrun with children Dodging dropping bombs, yeah Your flags all look the same to me And all I wanted was the chance to know your name But helplessly I stood there as the world ripped you away [Chorus] Even if you're traveling at the speed of light Circling the sun two thousand times I will follow you into its light This time it's personal And even if the air's too thin to breathe I will be the solace that you seek I've never let a damn thing get to me But this time it's personal This time it's personal [Verse 2] And don't run from the person you've become From the lines that you have drawn And don't forget where you come from Hey, don't look away Stand up, chum, now show your face Stand your ground, now come what may Say what you came here to say How could I let you slip away? [Chorus] Even if you're traveling at the speed of light Circling the sun two thousand times I will follow you into its light This time it's personal And even if the air's too thin to breathe I will be the solace that you seek I've never let a damn thing get to me But this time it's personal This time, this time [Bridge] Hey! In everyone, in every place I hear your voice, I see your face But from my hands, you slipped away [Chorus] Even if your traveling at the speed of light Circling the sun two thousand times I will follow you into its light This time it's personal And even if the air's too thin to breathe I will be the solace that you seek I've never let a damn thing get to me But this time it's personal This time, this time
