Bon Jovi: Because We Can

Bon Jovi: Because We Can

I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand

Because we can

 

She’s in the kitchen staring out the window

So tired of living life in black and white

Right now she’s missing those technicolor kisses

When he turns down the lights

 

Lately he’s feeling like a broken promise

In the mirror staring down his doubt

There’s only one thing in this world that he knows

He said forever and he’ll never let her down

 

I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand

Because we can

 

TV and takeout on the coffee table

Paper dishes, pour a glass of wine

Turn down the sound and move a little closer

And for the moment everything is alright

 

I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand

 

Because we can, our love can move a mountain

We can, if you believe in we

We can, just wrap your arms around me

We can, we can

 

I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand

 

I don’t wanna be another wave in the ocean

I am a rock not just another grain of sand

I wanna be the one you run to when you need a shoulder

I ain’t a soldier but I’m here to take a stand

 

Because we can, our love can move a mountain

We can, if you believe in we

We can, just wrap your arms around me

We can, we can

Because we can
