Our history is clothed in blood like a red Corvette It's hard to ignore but easy to wind up dead Our hands are in the fire like a child who hasn't learned to regret While we're trying to put a smile on for the cameras inside our head Say it now, say it now, say it now I'm on my knees I'm a faded army In the sight of my enemies Oh, say it now, say it now, say it now I'm on my knees I can only stand when your outstretched hands Are holding me Our attention is the last frontier on the way out west We should be circling the wagons, but we're beating on our puffed-out chest In the agony of tracing our steps, we know we've already lost There's a way in every desert where the children all can find the cross Say it now, say it now, say it now I'm on my knees I'm a faded army In the sight of my enemies Oh, say it now, say it now, say it now I'm on my knees I can only stand when your outstretched hands Are holding me The veil is broken, the battle's won But the war seems like it's just begun Say it now, say it now, say it now I'm on my knees I'm a faded army In the sight of my enemies Oh, say it now, say it now, say it now I'm on my knees I can only stand when your outstretched hands Are holding me
