Citizen Cope Lyrics for Song: Lifeline
 Lyrics for Album: The Rainwater LP [2010]
 
 
 
 16466>When you're so long gone, you can't help yourself
 
 When you're so dead wrong
 
 Let alone no one else
 
 
 
 Well the children still dying in the streets
 
 The babies still living with disease
 
 The cops got guns, the poor folks got sons
 
 Who work for Mr. Franklin every week
 
 
 
 If you've come looking for hard times
 
 Hard times ain't hard to find
 
 Cause we've been given that lifeline
 
 Only once in a lifetime
 
 
 
 Baby we were born
 
 Maybe we were born
 
 To be sure ... to endure
 
 When the storm comes
 
 
 
 Got them sad eyes
 
 Got them cat eyes
 
 Got your angels tired
 
 From saving your life
 
 
 
 So you would be best
 
 To contain yourself
 
 Before you end up killed
 
 
 
 His bare feet
 
 Touch her bare feet
 
 The air breaths sweet
 
 At the mountains peak
 
 
 
 And I forgot
 
 What the wise man said
 
 About that ancient thread
 
 
 
 Baby we were born
 
 Maybe we were born
 
 To be sure ... to rejoice
 
 When it succumbs
 
 16466>
