"Watch Over Us" lyrics

Quite hopeful and optimistic
That's my usual frame of mind
But this year takes the biscuit
And most people that I've spoken to are probably not gonna miss it
Before I go any further, this probably sounds familiar
But what can I say? I grew up on Mike Skinner
I'm from the streets too
Not many dry eyes inside
Can't believe it's come to this
But when you come from the concrete
You learn to count blessings
And as days go by you get numb to the stresses
(Oh, ohh)
And the pressures

Hope You're watching over us
Hope You're watching over us
In You I put my hope and trust
'Cause this has really broken us
Hope You're watching over us
Who-oa

Yeah
Had family, lost some
Had Ps but I lost some
Had jobs but I lost one
And then I lost one more so I'm
Looking around but they ain't got no more
In deep, lost sight of the shore
Life took a lot and I ain't got no more
Tryna stay positive and stop those thoughts but
It's claustrophobic since they locked those doors
And I'm still with my bros in arms and (Yeah yeah)
Gets tough but we're holding on
And we kept it in but now we open up 'cause (Ye-eah)
It gets hard for a lonely heart, yeah
I need a reason for living
Can't all be bad news (Yeah yeah)
But I'm learning to play this position
'Cause if we want rhythm, I guess we need blues

Hope You're watching over us
Hope You're watching over us, hmm
In You I put my hope and trust
'Cause this has really broken us
Hope You're watching over us
Oh-oh
(Y-yeah yeah)
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
(Yeah yeah)
