lyrics

Sit Down


We’ll see if things are like you say
We’ll see when darkness comes to pass
When you’re freed from trials and rise above
We’ll see

Thank god the barriers were thin
Thank god that you were listening
They thought that he was here for good
Thank god

I recall now saying that you didn’t seem that sad
Who knew what you had to go through
When it ended
Well who’s glad?

We’ll see if you’re hiding from yourself
We’ll see who gathers all the wealth
We’ll see what comes to those who pray
We’ll see

Thank god my eyes have had a shock
Thank god you’ve opened up the lock
She’s safe a million miles away. Thank god

I recall now saying that you didn’t seem that sad
Who knew what you had to go through
When it ended
Well who’s glad?

Ooooh , Ooooh , Ooooh, Aaahh

We’ll see but only from outside
We’ll see who swallows up their pride
Sit down if you can find a seat
Sit down

Who knew what you had to go through
When it ended
Well who’s glad?
