lyrics

I know I’ve not always been right
But when they say black it might as well be white
Well, for me it hasn’t changed a bit
You know I’ll be around
I’m turning loose
I’m turning loose

As I am walking down the road
I see faces losing faith and heads down low
But my heart is telling me to stop and think
And carry on
Carry on
Carry on

And my trust it lingers on in the lucky and the strong
In the weak and in the poor, in the ones who live ashore
Our foundation’s trembling hard can we end this mess unscarred
So I keep on keeping on

So take your time now Marianne
And there is nothing to pretend
We both know the world is not as sweet as fairy tales to tell
Come along
Oh come along

And I can’t fly, no I can’t breathe
It’s like mankind found a way to make me bleed secretly
So I look into your eyes and I see fire in disguise
Take me on
Oh take me on

And my trust it lingers on in the lucky and the strong
In the weak and in the poor, in the ones who live ashore
Our foundation’s trembling hard can we end this mess unscarred
So I keep on keeping on

Marianne
There’s a war we’re fighting
A war we’re fighting
Marianne
And I’m going down with you

Marianne
There’s a war we’re fighting
A war we’re fighting
Marianne
And I’m going down with you
We're going down
We're going down
