There is a crowd in here
That fooled themselves
They brought their friends
And they made their hell
They fake their grin
In a lonely cell
To the bitter end
But what do I know?

There are a few in here
That hurt themselves
They kick and bend in a dried-up well
They call for help
And you know them well
Are you aware?
But what do I know?

I, I will not surrender
No, I, I will not surrender
No, I, I will not surrender
No, I, I will not surrender

When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the White House lawn to the Middle East
And all around
I'm just saying that this time I feel it now

When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if it's bombs landing at their feet
And all around
I'm just saying that this time I feel it now

There is a place to hide
That's in our minds
It's in the dark
It's well known that

We have a fragile heart
It's deep inside
It has a sound that you can follow
You feel like you've hit a wall
But you survive
And it was hard for you to swallow
I've been to that place before
In spite of luck
When you awake a new tomorrow

I, I will not surrender
No, I, I will not surrender
No, I, I will not surrender
No, I, I will not surrender

When God falls fast asleep
The kids still dance in city streets
From the White House lawn to the Middle East
And all around
I'm just saying that this time I feel it now

When God falls fast asleep
The kids still move to a steady beat
Even if it's bombs landing at their feet
And all around
I'm just saying that this time I feel it now
