Ed Harcourt - Kids (Rise From the Ashes) Lyrics

Kids you're our only hope
Save us now we need an antidote
Kids get out on the street
Through this smoke rise through the city heat

You loved me like a friend
But now I can't pretend
The time we used to spend
Was wasted on you

Police sirens make me deaf
As I run trying to catch my breath
What's the world afraid of now
We are taught to clap our hands and bow

Rise from the ashes with a song to remember

Kids you're our only hope
