[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Please give me your redemption song, I need one real bad
No one seems to write them now that John and Bob are dead
All I know is
We need one right now
If life s another game of chess, we lost a couple pieces
The ones who ve had a dream for us, the legends who will lead us
All I know is
We need them right now
[Chorus]
The darkness makes it hard to see the light
But the time is always right to do what s right
If you only knew, I m just as scared as you
You re not the only one
[Verse]
Is it ignorant to say that war is just no longer needed
And childish to think that love gives life a higher meaning
All I know is
We need love right now
The people we have given trust end up corrupt and rotten
They start with great ideals but on the way that s all forgotten
All I know is
We need hope right now
[Chorus]
The darkness makes it hard to see the light
But the time is always right to do what s right
If you only knew, I m just as scared as you
You re not the only one
[C-part]
You re not the only one who s had enough
Give me your hand so we can stand up
You re not the only one done waiting
For changes to come
(You re not the only one who s had enough)
[Chorus]
The darkness makes it hard to see the light (Give me your hand so we can stand up)
But the time is always right to do what s right (You re not the only one done waiting)
If you only knew, I m just as scared as you (For changes to come)
You re not the only one
[Outro]
Please give me your redemption song, I need one real bad
No one seems to write them now that John and Bob are dead
All I know is
We need one right now
