lyrics

It's been a long year, it’s been a hard year
See so many good people trying
Just makes me wanna cry.

It’s been a hard time, been such a long time
And as the days roll on
I wonder, how could it go wrong.

The winter rain pours down, the summer sun burns the ground
And can we do enough
You know, we’ve got to rescue us.

Just want to see you, just want to hold you
And is your heart breaking
You know sure broke mine.

It’s been a long year, been such a hard year
And as the days roll on, I wonder how could it go so wrong
And is your heart broken, you know sure broke mine
Now can we do enough, you know we’ve got to rescue us

The winter rains pours down, the summer sun burns the ground
You can talk on it all day long, won’t you tell me now, how could it go so wrong?
The clock doesn’t turn back and our chances are running out
We’ve got to stop what we’re doing, we’ve got to stop, now.

It’s been a long year, it’s been a hard year
And can we do enough,
IF ONLY WE CAN RESCUE US
