[Verse 1]
Our history is clothed in blood like a red Corvette
It's hard to ignore, but easy to wind up dead
Our hands are in the fire like a child who hasn't learned to regret
While we're trying to put a smile on for the cameras inside our head
[Chorus]
Say it now, say it now, say it now
I'm on my knees
I'm a faded army in the sight of my enemies
Oh, say it now, say it now, say it now
I'm on my knees
I can only stand when your outstretched hands are holding me
[Verse 2]
Our attention is the last frontier on the way out west
We should be circling the wagons, but we're beating on our puffed-out chest
In the agony of tracing our steps, we know we've already lost
There's a way in every desert where the children all can find the cross
[Chorus]
Say it now, say it now, say it now
I'm on my knees
I'm a faded army in the sight of my enemies
Oh, say it now, say it now, say it now
I'm on my knees
I can only stand when your outstretched hands are holding me
[Bridge]
The veil is broken, the battle's won
But the war seems like it's just begun
[Chorus]
Say it now, say it now, say it now
I'm on my knees
I'm a faded army in the sight of my enemies
Oh, say it now, say it now, say it now
I'm on my knees
I can only stand when your outstretched hands are holding me
