Sometimes I'm beaten
Sometimes I'm broke
'Cause sometimes
this city
is nothing but smoke
Is there a secret?
Is there a code?
Can we make it better?
'Cause I'm losing hope
Tell me how to be
in this world
Tell me how to breathe in
and feel no hurt
Tell me how 'cause
I... believe in something
I... believe in us
After the wreckage
After the dust
I still hear the howling
I still feel the rush
Over the riots
above all the noise
Through all the worry
I still hear your voice
So tell me how to be
in this world
tell me how to breathe in
and feel no hurt
tell me how 'cause
I... believe in something
I... believe in us
tell me when
the light goes down
that even in the dark
we will find a way out
Tell me now 'cause
I... believe in something
I... believe in us
We used to be kids
living just for kicks
In cinema seats
learning how to kiss
Running through streets
they were painted gold
we never believed
we'd grow up like this
So tell me how to be
in this world
tell me how to breathe in
and feel no hope
Tell me how 'cause
I... believe in something
I... believe in us
Tell me when
the light goes down
that even in the dark
we will find a way out
Tell me now 'cause
I... believe in something
I... believe in us
I... believe in something
I... believe in us
