Silent Rival – Find Them Beautiful lyrics

Before the churches had plywood walls
Stained glass climbing up the halls
Before we torched Victorian homes
For fun we played basketball

Before drug deals and nights in fear
The miracles made their records clear
Before our course was stolen
We were building them with pioneers

Oh how suddenly
Towers got burned and turned our eyes away (away)
The storm raged on we let our essence fade (away)
These weathered have fought so long
Even though they're flawed
I still find them beautiful

Ages ago there was hope in space
A freedom waiting, a right of way
Crept underground to make their getaway
Through famous strays

My neighbors left when rain hit the shore
No one could drag me from my porch
I still believe my home will make
History once more

Oh how suddenly
Towers got burned and turned our eyes away (away)
The storm raged on we let our essence fade (away)
These weathered have fought so long
Even though they're flawed
I still find them beautiful

Under the summer sun we learned to grow
Winter winds spun us out of control
Welcome mats never get old
'Cause no one's coming home
We learn to let go

I still believe my home will make history once more

Oh how suddenly
Towers got burned and turned our eyes away (away)
The storm raged on we let our essence fade (away)
These weathered have fought so long
Even though they're flawed
I still find them beautiful
