When the world welcomes us in, We're closer to Heaven than we'll ever know. They say this place has changed, But strip away all of the technology And you will see That we all are hunters, Hunting for something that will make us okay. Here we lay alon

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you. And when I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you. And when I come home, yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who'
