Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You wanna start a fire?
It only takes a spark
You gotta get behind the wheel
If you're ever gonna drive that car
If you wanna take a bite
You'd better have the teeth
If you wanna take that step
Then get up off of your knees
[PreChorus]
'Cause tonight
We're alive
[Chorus]
Who stand for the restless
And the lonely?
For the desperate
And the hungry?
Down for the count
I'm hearing you now
For the faithful
The believer
For the faceless
And the teacher
Stand up and be proud
What about now?
[Verse 2]
You wanna start a fight?
You gotta take a swing
You gotta get your hands in the dirt
To see what the harvest will bring
You wanna raise your voice
Don't be scared to breathe
Don't be afraid to hurt
Don't be ashamed to need
[PreChorus]
'Cause tonight
We're alive
[Chorus]
Who stand for the restless
And the lonely?
For the desperate
And the hungry?
Down for the count
I'm hearing you now
For the faithful
The believer
For the faithless
And the teacher
Stand up and be proud
What about now?
[Verse 3]
The leaves fall like reasons that drift through the seasons
Till dreams aren't just bare, dark, and gray
And all of your plans that slip right through your hands
Are just things that you'll take to your grave
[PreChorus]
Tonight
We're alive
[Chorus]
Who stand for the restless?
For the lonely?
For desperate
And the hungry?
Down for the count
I'm hearing you now
[Outro]
For the faithful
The believer
For the faceless
And the teacher
Stand up and be proud
What about now?
What about now?
What about now?
What about now?
