The Key Lyrics by Kate McGill

Replaced

0

They're taught to tell the truth but then
They're taught to force a smile
They lead us down the road
But they can only see a mile
We only see what they want us to see
We only see what they want us to see
They line us up in uniforms
And tell us not to feel
They've never been to Heaven
But they tell us that it's real
They only see what they wanna see
They only see what they wanna see
We watch them pray down on their knees
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be
And thanks to them (them), we can be free
Thanks to them (them)
We have the key
You'll be you and I'll be me
We have the key
You'll be you and I'll be me
We say that they're not puppets
And then we point them to the strings
Convinced us they're together
By the paper and the ring
That they can't see what we want them to see
They just can't see what we want them to see
So tell me all your secrets
And I'll tell you all my fears
'Cause if we knock these walls down
We might know why we're here
We watch them pray down on their knees
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be
And thanks to them (them), we can be free
Thanks to them (them)
We have the key
You'll be you and I'll be me
We have the key
You'll be you and I'll be me
We watch them pray down on their knees
'Cause that's the way that they were taught to be
They just can't see
We have the key
You'll be you and I'll be me
We have the key
You'll be you and I'll be me
