Dreaming Out Loud - Beat People Lyrics

They swim for shallow water
Run for higher ground
Sink to their own level
And pass the hat around

But they rise
When the going's really tough
Comes down to the last word
They never get enough

All the things they won't or cannot do
No one ever asks what happens to
Beat people
Beat people

People on a balance
Tip the edge of sane
You can hear their laughter
In your hurricane

But they rise
When the going's really tough
Comes down to the last one
They never get enough

All the things they won't or cannot do
No one ever asks what happens to
Beat people
Beat people
Beat people
Beat people
