[Intro]
This is give and take
We’ve all wasted away in vain
[Verse 1]
Lost in a life of false endeavor
Lost in a life of self-seeking gain
We bind shoulder to shoulder, let this dry spell end
We're weary from thin air that fills our lungs
If iron sharpens iron, we’re longing to be used
To fix our gaze collective
[Chorus]
Colorless I grow, colorless I grow
I can’t flourish on my own, flourish on my own
And now with helpless hands may we come alive?
Our numbers down, thinned out, expire or thrive
[Verse 2]
Beg the favor of our
Earth below and sky above
We bind shoulder to shoulder, let this dry spell end
We're weary from thin air that fills our lungs
If iron sharpens iron, we’re longing to be used
Send the rain, send the rain or we’ll cut out the roots
[Chorus]
Colorless I grow, colorless I grow
I can’t flourish on my own, flourish on my own
And now with helpless hands may we come alive?
Our numbers down, thinned out, expire or thrive
[Bridge]
From the dust we’ve come, to the dust we’ll go
Mother earth, father sky, let us reap what we've sown
From the dust we’ve come, to the dust we’ll go
Let us reap what we've sown
This is give and take, we’ve all wasted away in vain
Send the rain, send the rain, send the rain, saturate
This is give and take, and now we see clearly
Everything breathes
From the dust we’ve come, and now we see clearly
Everything breathes
[Chorus]
Colorless I grow, colorless I grow
I can’t flourish on my own
And now with helpless hands may we come alive?
Expire or thrive
