[Verse 1]
I hold you in my arms, yeah that's when it starts
I seek faith in your kiss and comfort in your heart
Taste the seed upon your lips, lay my tongue upon your scars
When I look into your eyes and we stand worlds apart

[Refrian]
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

[Verse 2]
Where the distant oceans sing and rise to the plains
In this dry and troubled country, your beauty remains
Down from the mountain roads where the highway rolls to dark
Beneath Allah's blessed rain, we remain worlds apart

[Refrain]
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

[Verse 3]
Sometimes the truth just ain't enough, or is it too much in times like this?
Let's throw the truth away, we'll find it in this kiss
In your skin upon my skin in the beating of our hearts
May the living let us in before the dead tear us apart

[Refrain]
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

[Verse 4]
We'll let blood build a bridge over mountains draped in stars
I'll meet you on the ridge between these worlds apart
We've got this moment now to live, then it's all just dust and dark
Let love give what it gives, let's let love give what it gives

[Outro]
Let's let love give what it gives
Let's let love give what it gives
Let's let love give what it gives
Let's let love give what it gives
Let's let love give what it gives

Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen is a rock ‘n’ roll icon from the great state of New Jersey. Nicknamed “The Boss,” he’s known for spirited sax-powered anthems about working-class people making their way in the world. Backed by the trusty E Street Band, he’s sold more than 120 million records, won numerous awards (including 20 Grammys and an Oscar), sold out stadiums around the globe, and earned a place alongside his teenage heroes in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Although he’s a living legend who ranks among the most important artists in rock history, Springsteen wasn’t an overnight success. Around the time of his first album, 1973’s Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., he was dismissed as just another “new Dylan"—some scruffy folk singer with a decent vocabulary looking to follow in Bob’s footsteps. In the decade that followed, Springsteen proved himself to be much more.

His breakthrough came with his third album, 1975’s Born to Run. The record hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and landed the singer-songwriter on the cover of both Time and Newsweek. Bruce nabbed his first chart-topping album five years later with The River, and in 1984, he went global with Born in the U.S.A., a critical and commercial smash that produced seven Top 10 singles.
