Babel by Mumford & Sons
'Cause I know that time has (1)________________ my days
And I’ll go along with everything you say
But I’ll ride home laughing, look at me now
The walls of my town, they come crumbling down
And my ears hear the call of my unborn sons
And I know that choices (2)____________ all I’ve done
But I’ll explain it all to the watchman’s son
I ain't ever lived a year better spent in love
'Cause I'll know my weakness, know my voice
And I'll believe in (3)__________ and choice...
And I know perhaps my heart is fast
But I’ll be born without a mask....
Like the city that (4)________________ my greed and my pride
I stretch my arms into the sky
I cry Babel! Babel! Look at me now
But the walls of my town
They (5)________ crumbling down...
You ask (6)__________ will we stand
In the winds that will howl
As all we see will slip into the cloud
So come down from your mountain
And stand where we’ve been
You know our breath is weak and our (7)____________ thin
Press my nose up to the (8)__________ around (9)________ heart
I should’ve known I was weaker from the start
You’ll build your walls
And I (10)________ play my bloody part
To tear, tear them down
Well I’m gonna tear, tear them down!
'Cause I know my weakness know my voice
And I'll believe in grace and choice
And I know perhaps my heart is fast
But I’ll be born without a mask
And I’ll go along with everything you say
