Alter Bridge Power Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take while there's time
Know the heights just out of reach are yours to climb
But fate will decide
For the shadows never sleep
Why don't you

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop for a minute?
Take a little bit of time
Take what is given
Don't let this moment pass you by

[Chorus]
Power down just long enough
To see what you might find
A life that is so beautiful
Was right there all the while
Power down

[Verse 2]
How far you have come
Was it worth it in the end to touch the sun?
You burned to become
Still you'll never be enough
Why don't you

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop for a minute? Take a little bit of time
Pushed to the limit
You're only burning out

[Chorus]
Power down just long enough
To see what you might find
A life that is so beautiful
Was right there all the while

[Bridge]
How long will you wait
Until you slow the pace?
The sands of time are running down
Running to escape
Will only seal your fate
It's time to face the truth right now

[Guitar Solo: Mark Tremonti]

[Chorus]
Power down just long enough
To see what you might find
A life that is so beautiful
Was right there all the while

[Guitar Solo/Outro: Myles Kennedy]
