Burning the Harbor Lyrics by Kate Voegele

Gravity Happens (Deluxe)

2011

[Verse 1]
I don't know what to do, but stare into space
Wish I could shut my eyes
And I used to sleep at night, and I used to feel safe
But now I'm terrified

[Pre-Chorus]
So take away this darkness in the air
It's like black flames are everywhere
Someone say, "There's hope on the way"

[Chorus]
Oh, can you shake it down on the sea
And rain down the water?
Make it count
Can't you see our hearts are breaking harder?

[Post-Chorus]
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
"We're burning the harbor"

[Verse 2]
We took a holy place, we taught it violence
And called it efficiency, oh
And we've seen the hell it creates, but we've chosen silence
And kept a viciously sleep, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
So take away, this darkness in the air
It's like black flames, are everywhere
Someone say, "There's hope on the way"

[Chorus]
Oh, can you shake it down on the sea
And rain down the water?
Make it count
Can't you see our hearts are breaking harder?

[Post-Chorus]
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
"We're burning the harbor"

[Bridge]
Maybe we need a second chance
Maybe it's out of our hands
Maybe it's time we take a stand, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, whoa

[Chorus]
Oh, can you shake it down on the sea
And rain down the water?
Make it count
Can't you see our hearts are breaking harder?

[Post-Chorus]
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, can you shake it down on the sea
And rain down the water?
Make it count
Can't you see our hearts are breaking harder?

[Post-Chorus]
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
"We're burning the harbor"

[Outro]
(Rain down, rain down the water)
(Rain down, rain down the water)
I said "We're burning the harbor"
(Rain down, rain down the water)
(Rain down, rain down the water)
You know we're burning the harbor
