To Our Knees

And the love we all need

Was running hard to be free

It got caught up in the forest

By the branches on the trees

By the creatures of the daylight

And the beasts of the night

Then the mountains and the rivers

Took their toll on its lean

It went stumbling down a hillside

Where it landed on its knees

On its knees, on its knees

On its knees – and: scene

And the love we all need

Once relented from its speed

We adored it and abused it

'Til it brought us to our knees

To our knees, to our knees

To our knees
