Are You Getting Through Songtext
von Glen Hansard

Are you gettin' through?
Are you breathin'?
Is there someone lookin' out for you
When you need them to?
Are you shuttin' down?
Are you listenin'?
Still givin' us the run-around
What am I missin'?

Are you gettin' through?
'Cause I need you to

Oh we've been blind, blind
Watching for the blood ties
Risin' for the good fight
And losin' by degrees
Oh we've been gone, gone
Crossin' swords for so long
Singin' out our soldier's song
And livin' on our knees


Are you givin' up?
Are you quittin'?
Come on I know you're strong enough
More than you're admittin'
Are you breakin' down?
Is it over?
Man and you should be laughin' now
Rollin' in the clover

Are you gettin' through?
Well I hope you do
And keep believin' in those hidden hands
Lookin' out for you
Is it gettin' clear?
Are we even near?
Raise your voice up now
We still believe in what we hear
Are we gettin' through?

Oh we've been blind, blind
Watching for the blood ties
Starin' 'cross the great divide
And dyin' by degrees
Oh we've been gone, gone
Crossin' swords for so long
Singin' out our soldier's song
And livin' on our knees


Woah we've been blind, blind
Watching for the blood ties
Risin' for the good fight
And losin' by degrees
Oh we've been gone, gone
Crossin' swords for so long
Marchin' to the fife and drum
And livin' on our knees

Put your back to the wheel
C'mon and tell it how you feel
Put your strength in your will to the plow
Ah we could really use you now
Choose your words and your prophets with care
C'mon you know we're nearly there
Put your back to the wheel

Are you gettin' through?
Are you breathin'?
Is there someone lookin' out for you
When you need them to?
