Verse 1:

I can’t believe we are not afraid,

I can’t believe we forget each day about You and the things You’ve done.

My minds a dreamer yet I’m still lost,
C Cmaj7 F Fm C Cmaj7
My hearts been tainted but by Your cross I am free, Oh I am free.
 
[Refrão]>:

Ticking clocks and masquerades are what we hide behind.

I can’t believe we all run away from the truth, as if we know it all.

Fmaj7 Am Em G
We are all just passengers, looking for a better life

Buried in the dark corners of our frail minds

We are all just passengers, looking for a better life
Fmaj7 Am Em G
Unaware that You have been there in our blinded sense of time.
