Chalk Line - Acoustic by Strike Anywhere Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 2003

We see the billboard girl
The one devoted to ritual
Standing in the rain
Holding all her pain inside

I know you're hurting now
But I can't point my finger at the
Words I should or shouldn't say
Anything to take the pain away

To walk alone on the streets tonight
And fear nothing
To choose to love what we are in this life
And shine brighter

Don't let the crosses and dollar signs, symbols of man, unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time, walk out
Out of the shadows

We see the lines in chalk
The warning sign for where we walk
In the shadows of the city's maze
To try and fight for better days
Walk alone on the streets tonight
And fear nothing
Choose to love what we are in this life
And shine brighter

Don't let the crosses and dollar signs, symbols of man, unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time, walk out
Out of the shadows

Yeah, we're ungrateful
Yeah, we're ungrateful for...

Holy books, religious men
Values of beauty, and original sin
And all this time we unwind it
I won't give up, I'm not afraid

Reisister, go as long as it takes
To reverse the hypocrisy, challenge the stakes
Of your safety and survival at the heart
Of women's voices, women's art

To walk alone on the streets tonight
And fear nothing
To choose to love what we are in this life
And shine brighter
Don't let the crosses and dollar signs, symbols of man, unkind
Make you feel that you're not real
All this time, walk out
Out of the shadows

If we take our strength
To market, to trade
For their
Ugly beauty

Watch us grow up to war
Watch us grow up to war
Watch us grow up to war
Watch us grow up to war

Watch us grow up to war
No more!
