Lyrics

From the place that I stand to the land that is openly free
Watching rivers run black by the trees
That are vacant to greed

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance

Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance

And the tunes just started
Gotta give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Or tell me why I’m so wrong
Where does love come from
If you’ve sold your reasoning out?

How can I learn if I don’t understand what I see
If I’m giving this mess
Take a walk
Through a nigphpare so real
Gotta give it up
Gotta get a second chance

Or tell me if I’m so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you’ve never been without?

Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up

Give it up
Give it up
Gotta give it up
Tell me if I’m so wrong
Where does love come from
If you’ve sold your reasoning out?

Or tell me if I’m so wrong
Where does luck come from
When you’ve never been without?
