Are You Getting Through

Are you getting through?
Are you breathing?
Is there someone looking out for you
When you need them to?
Are you shutting down?
Are you listening?
Still giving us the run around
What am I missing?
Are you getting through?
'Cause I need you to

Oh, we been blind, blind
Watching for the blood ties
Rising for the good fight
And losing by degrees
Oh, we been gone, gone
Crossing swords for so long
Singing out our soldier's song
And living on our knees

Are you giving up?
Are you quitting?
Come on, I know you're strong enough
More than you're admitting
Are you breaking down?
Is it over?
Man, you should be laughing now
Rolling in the clover

Are you getting through?
Well, I hope you do
And keep believing in those hidden hands looking out for you
Is it getting clear?
Are we even near?
Raise your voice up now
We still believe in what we hear
Are we getting through?

Oh, we been blind, blind
Watching for the blood ties
Staring across the great divide
And dying by degrees
Oh, we been gone, gone
Crossing swords for so long
Singing out our soldier's song
And living on our knees

Oh, we been blind, blind
Watching for the blood ties
Rising for the good fight
And losing by degrees
Oh, we been gone, gone
Crossing swords for so long
Marching to the fife and drum
And living on our knees

Put your backs to the wheel
Come on, and tell it how you feel
Put your strength and your will to the plow
Ah, we could really use you now
Choose your words and your prophets with care
Come on, you know we're nearly there
Put your back to the wheel

Are you getting through?
Are you breathing?
Is there someone looking out for you
When you need them to?
