Running in Place with a Desperate Heart Lyrics by Don DiLego

Magnificient Ram A

0

I saw the brake lights, scurry about
Stopped on a dime, and they fell to the ground
The wreckage of buildings are standing up proud
Casting their shadows across the ground
Hold on, hold on, brothers and sons
The road we are on, will be moving soon
Oh god, oh god, what have we done?
Give me the courage and strength to carry on
It’s bitter and cold, this road we are on
It takes thieves and strangers
To know when you’re wrong
It’s a crooked assumption, I’ve carried with me
That I’ll never die
And you’ll never see what I’ve seen
Hold on, hold on, brothers and sons
The road we are on, will be moving soon
Oh god, oh god, what have we done?
To give me the courage and strength to carry on
So what have we learned?
And what have we gained?
The best of ideas, will all remain the same
I saw the brake lights, scurry about
Stopped on a dime, and then fell to the ground
But the wreckage of buildings are standing up proud
Casting their shadows across the ground
Hold on, hold on, brothers and sons
The road we are on, will be moving soon
Oh god, oh god, what have we done?
Just give me the courage and strength to hold on
Hold on Hold on, dear Mothers to your sons
The road we are on, will be moving soon
Oh god, oh god, just what have we done?
Give me the courage and strength to carry on
