A Hold In The Roof (A Place For The Rain) Lyrics by So Long Forgotten

Beneath Our Noble Heads

2007

[Verse 1]
Bite your tongue
Child of God
And write this on your polished pole
While we are still so
Idealistic and young
'Cause if we both believe
This room is lit by the sun
Then what's the measure of this lamp
And the space that it floods
[Chorus]
Somehow we abandoned our blood
For whitewashed walls
A reason to trust
We stayed in our houses, learned how to spell
As we kindly accepted the keys to Hell
[Verse 2]
Fill my cup
Let it overflow
'Till we forget where we can came from
We believe we're made to be equal men
The city streets lined with our vagabond friends
The rain it washes their unkempt heads
Lay no place when the day ends
We believe we're made to be equal men (This is my soul)
The city streets lined with our vagabond friends(This is my soul)
The rain it washes their unkempt heads (This is my soul)
Lay no place when the day ends (Until I build myself a great big home)
[Chorus]
Somehow we abandoned our blood
For whitewashed walls
A reason to trust
We stayed in our houses, learned how to spell
As we kindly accepted the keys to Hell
Somehow we abandoned our blood
For whitewashed walls
A reason to trust
We stayed in our houses, learned how to spell
As we kindly accepted the keys to Hell
[Outro]
And I said no
You better leave it alone
And I said no
You better leave it alone
And I said no
You better leave it alone
And I said no
You better leave it alone
