lyrics

We’re huddled under the waves in a submarine
We’re waiting for the sunrise in a world of black, blue & green
We may have to dive
We may have to roll
We may have to survive
All alone in the cold
But when the moment arrives
We’re gonna sing for our lives
We’re gonna sing for our lives

Some of us are gonna have to die for the rest to make it through
Nobody’s giving any guarantees - It could be me, it could be you
We may have to rock
We may have to swing
We may have to run
We could lose everything
But when that moment arrives
We’re gonna sing for our lives
We’re gonna sing for our lives

We’re heading over to hell tonight on a wing and a prayer
I wish we had a better idea of what’s waiting for us over there
We may have to dance
We may have to groove
We may have to drop everything cause
We may have to make a move
But when the moment arrives
We’re gonna sing for our lives
We’re gonna sing for our lives

It’s all about taking a chance in the end
It’s all about taking a chance & holding out for your friends
It’s all about sticking it out though you’re cutting it pretty fine
It’s all about laying it out there as you walk right down that line

Sing for our lives, We’re gonna sing for our lives
Sing for our lives, We’re gonna sing for our lives
Sing for our lives
