Verse 1
We never did imagine the future would be this
Caught up in our distractions our own eternal bliss
Sometimes we thought that ww3 might be the next big thing
Write the words for all the songs our great grand children sing
Verse 2
Now we’re all resigned to staying home and keeping clean
Suddenly the lives we knew live only in our dreams
Facts and figures flying out of peoples TV screens
Influential politicians make you wanna scream
Bridge
We don’t know when all of this over
So we sit tight and hold onto our dreams
Chorus
Let me live once again like I did yesterday
Before all of my freedom was taken away
Let me open my eyes to the world that’s outside
And live like I did yesterday
Verse 3
Our heroes used to live in comic books and fairytales
Rock’n’Roll stars astronauts and pirates setting sail
We see them in our movies capes a blowing in the gale
On the edges of our seats praying they don’t fail
Bridge
We don’t know when we will see our mothers
Or if we’ll fall apart at the seams
Chorus
Let me live once again like I did yesterday
Before all of my freedom was taken away
Let me open my eyes to the world that’s outside
And live like I did yesterday
Pedal steel solo
Verse 4
Now heroes live right on our street and go to work each day
Clawing back our freedom keeping death at bay
Wanna see their children what would the people say
Hero’s don’t wear capes no more cause they can’t fly away
Bridge
Well remember them when this is over
How they showed us all what bravery means
Chorus
Let me live once again like I did yesterday
Before all of my freedom was taken away
Let me open my eyes to the world that’s outside
And live like I did yesterday
When I open my eyes it’s a new world outside
Will I live I did yesterday
Let me live like I did yesterday

22 LAYERS OF SUNLIGHT - Album
by ESP Project
supported by 4 fans who also own “Let Me Live”
J'ai découvert ce projet grâce au EP "Three", j'ai tellement aimé que j'ai acheté les autres disques existants dont ce second opus ! Superbe production due a Tony Lowe qui a joué avec pas mal de monde ! Apparemment, c'est un grand fan de prog rock sophistiqué. La musique est inscrite dans notre époque, mais on remarque parfois par-ci par-là des touches de prog des '70's de toute beauté. Mes titres favoris sont "Gunshot Lips", "Algorithm", "Butterfly suite", "22 Layers of sunlight'...
