Uplifting, motivational themes, mild emotional hardship

Detailed Analysis

These lyrics are generally clean and appropriate for all ages. There is no explicit language, sexual content, violence, or drug/alcohol references. The song deals with themes of perseverance, unity, and pushing through hardship ('days go by, feeling broke and tired'). There are some mild references to emotional struggle ('another sleepless night,' 'how could you ever let go?') and the pursuit of something greater, but these are presented in an uplifting, motivational context. The imagery of 'running' toward an 'open door' and crossing 'the great divide' suggests themes of hope and collective action. The overall message is positive and empowering.

Lyrics

We come running We come running We come running We come running Under a pale blue sky You never felt so cold Another sleepless night How could you ever let go? How do you recognize The dirty face of gold Behind that crooked line Where you never knew you'd go? Headed for the open door Tell me what you're waiting for Look across the great divide Soon they're gonna hear The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Never go where we belong Echoes in the dead of dawn Soon they're gonna know The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running When the worlds gone quiet (whoa) I see you dancing slow (whoa) Feeling satisfied Where you never knew you'd go Headed for the open door Tell me what you're waiting fo Look across the great divide Soon they're gonna hear The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Never go where we belong Echoes in the dead of dawn Soon they're gonna know The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Days go by Feeling broke and tired Remember (whoa) Always remember (whoa) The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Headed for the open door Tell me what you're waiting for Look across the great divide Soon they're gonna hear The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh The sound, the sound, the sound When we come running Woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh When we come running Woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh Oh-woah-oh, oh-woah-oh-oh When we come running
