lyrics

In times like these, catastrophes
They bring us crumbing down to our knees
But it’s in the dirt where we’ll find ourselves together

Sure it’s scary, from time to time,
When things get dark there’s no fighting the tide
When we’re lost at sea we’ll ride the life boats together

It’s like they say, it all comes in waves
Break the banks and the sandbags again
It’s in the flood where we’ll all be soaked together

As time goes on, will it ever end?
But don’t let the loneliness get you my friend
'Cause it's on our own, where we’ll find ourselves together

It came right out the blue
But I know we’ll all get through

In times like these, catastrophes
They bring us crumbing down to our knees
But it’s in the dirt, where we’ll find ourselves together
