Lyrics:

We dared to ask for more

But that was long before the nights began to burn

You would have thought we'd learned

You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow

Happiness, security are words we only borrowed

For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent?

Please understand this isn't what we meant



The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past

With every word a trap that no one can take

Back from all the architects who find their towers leaning

And every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaning

For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent?

Please understand this isn't what we meant



(bridge)

A long time ago when the world was pretty

Standing right here in a different city

They're not coming back any more

They're not coming back any...



(lead break)



(solo)



(extro)

Is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent?

Please understand this isn't what we meant
