Dark Horses Lyrics
I've made my mistakes
I've seen my heart cave in
I got my scars
I've been to hell and back again
Born for the blue skies
We'll survive the rain
Born for the sunrise
We'll survive the pain
We're singing hey, you can't count us out
We've been running up against the crowd
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We're singing wait, it's not over now
We've been down but we've never been out
Yeah, we are the dark horses
We found a way out
The city takes everything it can
But outside the crowds
I can feel my lungs again
Born for the blue skies
We'll survive the rain
Born for the sun rise
We will survive the pain
We're singing
La la la la la la la
Were singing we don't care what they say
We know we'll find a way
Yeah, we are the dark horses
Keep running with the dark horses
Stand up for the dark horses
Hope makes the blood change courses
Keep running with the dark horses
Stand up for the dark horses
Special thank you to Hurley Studios, the Hurley team, Paul Kerby and everyone else involved in making this video. - Switchfoot

[@BangiranaAllan]

What a beautiful song, this band has some really good Christian rock

[@Wcook09]

Some really good "Christian" rock. That term is what has held them back from the masses. As much as I love singing along to songs like "Only Hope" I will never label these guys as Christian rock.

[@BangiranaAllan]

Thanks for being a part of a new treasured memory.

Switchfoot the type of band to drop a pretty chill, acoustic song like Dare You To Move then shake things up with an absolute banger of a Christian rock like this masterpiece. Pretty new to you guys but so cool seeing you live at Festival One today!

[@xzFiredrakezx]

To everyone that complains about this song not being a "Christian Song": it doesn't have to be. You can priase God without singing Christian music. As long as you do your music to the best of your ability and give the glory to God when you're done with it then you're praising him with your music. Switchfoot may not have made this song specifically Christian but I'm sure if you ask them they'll give the glory to God.

[@vlaceomuadlai2592]

+Jesse Jacoby You sure? 'Cause I don't think so.

[@FreedomforAfricans]

Born for the Sunrise, we'll survive the pain. We are the dark horses From the very title of this song, every lyric is edifying. I do not see where this is not a message inspired from Love&Hope&Perseverance. Just because the name Jesus/God ain't there, doesn't make it any less Christian. Perhaps the meaning of DarkHorses brings uncertainty. It refers to a perceived underdog emerging victorious.

[@antoinettealbarado2693]

@@FreedomforAfricans I agree!! I take dark horses as the ones who believe in Jesus because we are part of that minority. So, keep running with the dark horses. Hope makes the blood change courses. 🎵🎼🎵

[@BabyLemonade0]

I like how a lot of the people in this comment section don't want to see any "religious" discussions because they are "open-minded," but they will willingly make fun of Christians regardless. Yes, some Christians don't treat gays respectfully. But at the same time, many Christians do treat gays respectfully. Me being one who does. We're all equally sinful in God's eyes- Gays, straights, Christians, atheists. "Hate the sin, love the sinner." You're right, nobody should force their beliefs down someone's throat, but don't persecute us for our faith only when we bring it up publicly.
