We Owe This To Ourselves Lyrics
since when did bullets
start to sing
it didnt have to end like this
is this the end of everything
it didnt have to end like this
i feel i feel we can't stop
here
it doesn't have to end like this
we owe this to ourselves
we can't just let this go
if every man became a king
we could start it off with this
we could do more than just dream
we could start it off with this
i feel i feel the change is here
we owe this to ourselves
to fight to lead
we can't just let this go
start to sing
it didnt have to end like this
is this the end of everything
it didnt have to end like this
i feel i feel we can't stop
here
it doesn't have to end like this
we owe this to ourselves
we can't just let this go
if every man became a king
we could start it off with this
we could do more than just dream
we could start it off with this
i feel i feel the change is here
we owe this to ourselves
to fight to lead
we can't just let this go

I just heard this song today, when it dropped for Anberlin's Twitter followers. Love it! The guitar riff is amazing, and the lyrics are typical genius Anberlin. I Can't wait till September 21 when the album's released.
Anberlin is by far my favorite band (along with safetysuit, ADTR, Jimmy eat world), so I read a lot about them and this song is about Martin Luther King, JR.

Yeah , I read that on Stephen's blog. This is one of the best songs on the album.

"This song was originally supposed to be called KING but someone at the label didn’t like the title. (On our set lists its still called KING)
This song is about my High School hero Dr. Martin Luther King jr. I stumbled on a biography of him and everything I read completely inspired me, still to this day his words seep into my writing, his quotes find their ways into my songs.
