In The Wake Lyrics

These are troubled times we live in
And our troubles make us want to give in
But in the light of everything we've lost
with every fight still adding to the cost
I know we may be bent but we won't break
Now it's passed us by we're in the wake
We're in the wake
For goodness' sake what can we trust
when all that's good's forsaken us
Here in the wake
These are trying days that face us
And those trials threaten to erase us
But the way we're built is to survive
With just a little guilt we're still alive
If we're feeling lost and left behind
at least we're learning not to mind the wake
We're in the wake
If we can't take what life can give
and least we'll fake we want to live
Here in the wake
That's the way it's always going to be here with me
In the wake
