Down Here

Chasin' these dreams cause they're all I've got

Mercy ain't comin in a bright red box.

Hope ain't easy, love ain't free

Life is harder then we all think.

Freedom takes care to keep in store,

An' blood is required to keep it there.

The love we want, ain't the love we've got

Just too blind to really care.

Searchin' for something we don't understand

Makes us all hungry for another land.

Somethin' better, holier even

Then what we've only ever got.

Nothin's easy to hold on to down here

Everything slips away too fast.

Time an' love don't yet last forever

Till forever's all that's left.

I don't pretend to think I know

Anything about God and man.

But all I know, that's all I have left

Is God, dreams, and Heaven.
