Intro

Verse 1

I have my mother's dreams

I have my father's eyes

You can’t take that from me

Just go ahead and try

The crescent city sleeps

Watch lions in the sky

Preparing to unleash

Unleash a mighty cry

 Can nobody save us?

 Will anyone try?

 The pile is burning

 The severance is tight

 And all along I say it

Chorus

Help is on the way

(They said they said)

Help is on the way

(They said they said)

Hold my hand, to help see

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

Verse 2

Five thousand feet below

As black smoke engulfs the sky

The ocean floor explodes

Eleven mothers cry

My bones are resigning

A burning lullaby

You can’t take that from me

Just go ahead and try

 She says that’s a sure line

 With hands in the air

 Her words miss the dark light

 Does anyone care?

 And all along I say it

Chorus

Help is on the way

(They said they said)

Help is on the way

(They said they said)

Hold my hand, to help see

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

Right there

Right there (x3)

Bridge

Choking on the blackout

Upon which we here rely

We keep actions in the attics

To see cameras in the sky

Chorus

Help is on the way

(they said they said)

Help is on the way

(they said they said)

We were told just to sit tight

Cause somebody will soon arrive

Help is on the way

But it never came

 It never came

Chorus

Help is on the way

(They said they said)

Help is on the way

(They said they said)

Hold my hand, to help see

Right there in front of me

Help is on the way

On the way
