Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
His father found a gun
Shot the man, who hurt his son
And packed his bag so he could run
And save us all
ย
There's an anchor and a rope
Wrapped around faith and hope
That he got tattooed on his chest in Istanbul
ย
If you feel running in your blood
and the dream's not big enough
And ya' just can't give it up
Once it's found
ย
If your feet can't stand still
Between the thunder and the thrill
Let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y
Never touch the ground
I tell you this
Inside your chest
Beats the heart he handed down
ย
Alex sure put up a fight
He stood helpless in the night
Lost his baby and his wife
at the same time
ย
So he just started moving
through the jails of country's left in ruin
Shovelled coal, on a boat
Scared his dreams would go up in smoke
If you feel running in your blood
and the dream's not big enough
And ya' just can't give it up
Once it's found
ย
If your feet can't stand still
Between the thunder and the thrill
Let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y
Never touch the ground
ย
I tell you this
Inside your chest
Beats the heart he handed down
ย
Everytime you take a breath
Oh it's like he never left
No matter how far that you run
The leaving's just a part of being home
If you feel running in your blood
and the dream's not big enough
And ya' just can't give it up
Once it's found
ย
If your feet can't stand still
Between the thunder and the thrill
Let 'em fly-y-y-y-y-y
Never touch the ground
I tell you this
Inside your chest
Beats the heart he handed down
ย
I tell you this
Inside your chest
Beats the heart he handed down
