The Cave

Mumford & Sons

1. It's empty in the valley of your heart
   The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
   Away from all the fears
   And all the faults you've left behind
   
2. The harvest left no food for you to eat
   You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
   But I have seen the same
   I know the shame in your defeat
   
R: But I will hold on hope
   And I won't let you choke
   On the noose around your neck
   
   And I'll find strength in pain
   And I will change my ways
   I'll know my name as it's called again

3. Cause I have other things to fill my time
   You take what is yours and I'll take mine
   Now let me at the truth
   Which will refresh my broken mind
   
4. So tie me to a post and block my ears
   I can see widows and orphans through my tears
   I know my call despite my faults
   And despite my growing fears

R: But I will hold on hope...
   
   And I'll find strength in pain...
   
5. So come out of your cave walking on your hands
   And see the world hanging upside down
   You can understand dependence
   When you know the maker's hand

R: So make your siren's call
   And sing all you want
   I will not hear what you have to say
   
   Cause I need freedom now
   And I need to know how
   To live my life as it's meant to be

R: But I will hold on hope...
   
   And I'll find strength in pain...
