Lyrics
When hope and love has been lost
and you fall to the ground you must find a way
When the darkness descends and you're told it's the end you must find a way
When God decides to look the other way and a clown takes the throne we must find a way
And face a firing squad against all the odds you will find a way
Dig Down Dig Down Dig Down and find faith
When you're close to the edge with a gun to your head you must find a way
When friends are threw on the ground and they try to divide us you must find a way
We have entered the fray and we will not obey we must find a way yeah
Dig Down Dig Down Dig Down and find faith
When they've left you for dead and you can only see red you must find a way
Dig Down Find faith
We won't let them divide We will never abide we will find a way
