Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

History keeps spinning on the same old wheel

Same mistakes dressed up to feel new and real

Somebody's always shouting from a golden chair

While the rest of us just try to breathe the air

[verse]

Grandma told me stories of the fires before

How the greedy hands kept knocking on the door

Nothing ever changes if we don't stand tall

Better wake up now before we lose it all

[chorus]

We're walking on a wire strung across the blaze

Dancing through the smoke of yesterday's mistakes

Don't you tell me that it's already done

We're still walking, walking on the sun

[verse]

Turn the news down, turn the noise up loud

Find your voice inside the restless crowd

Every generation thinks it's got it figured out

Until the same old shadow comes back around

[chorus]

We're walking on a wire strung across the blaze

Dancing through the smoke of yesterday's mistakes

Don't you tell me that it's already done

We're still walking, walking on the sun

[bridge]

Twenty years or a hundred more

History's knocking on the same old door

Wake up now, don't wait too long

Turn this warning into a song

[chorus]

We're walking on a wire strung across the blaze

Dancing through the smoke of yesterday's mistakes

Don't you tell me that it's already done

We're still walking, walking on the sun

[verse]
History keeps spinning on the same old wheel
Same mistakes dressed up to feel new and real
Somebody's always shouting from a golden chair
While the rest of us just try to breathe the air

[verse]
Grandma told me stories of the fires before
How the greedy hands kept knocking on the door
Nothing ever changes if we don't stand tall
Better wake up now before we lose it all

[chorus]
We're walking on a wire strung across the blaze
Dancing through the smoke of yesterday's mistakes
Don't you tell me that it's already done
We're still walking, walking on the sun

[verse]
Turn the news down, turn the noise up loud
Find your voice inside the restless crowd
Every generation thinks it's got it figured out
Until the same old shadow comes back around

[chorus]
We're walking on a wire strung across the blaze
Dancing through the smoke of yesterday's mistakes
Don't you tell me that it's already done
We're still walking, walking on the sun

Twenty years or a hundred more
History's knocking on the same old door
Wake up now, don't wait too long
Turn this warning into a song

[chorus]
We're walking on a wire strung across the blaze
Dancing through the smoke of yesterday's mistakes
Don't you tell me that it's already done
We're still walking, walking on the sun
