Place For Us Lyrics

There is a wall of silence in our way
What's quiet in the voices I cannot say
Through all the walls I fought in my mind
And your eyes are the only refuge I find

So we moved under the spotlight
And never think about the price we'd pay
When all the world around us slipped away

Hey, is there a place for us
Where flames flicker and wave for us
And we can see the future and the dreams it's made of
Hey, is there a place
A place for us

A place for us

Well I'm not afraid to die here
But damned if I go on living a lie here

So long we revelled in the spotlight
And never think about the price we'd pay
When all the world around us slipped away

Hey, is there a place for us
Where flames flicker and wave for us
And we can see the future and the dreams it's made of
Hey, is there a place
A place for us

A place for us

Now from the streets we run
Eyes wild like the sun
We are the new creators
We are the chosen ones

And as the city blazes
You hear a voice that you can trust
Singing is this the place for us

Hey, is there a place for us
Where flames flicker and wave for us
And we can see the future and the dreams it's made of
Hey, is there a place
A place for us

A place for us

A place for us

A place for us

A place for us

Mikky Ekko (born John Stephen Sudduth) is an American singer-songwriter and record producer from Louisiana, signed to RCA Records. He is best known for featuring on Rihanna's 2013 single "Stay", which has charted in multiple countries worldwide, becoming Ekko's first-charting material.

Born John Stephen Sudduth in Louisiana, Mikky Ekko had a nomadic childhood, moving around America's deep south with his preacher father. Having settled briefly in Tupelo, Mississippi and absorbed as much gospel as he could, he relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, and started playing in bands. Mikky Ekko began working as a songwriter for other artists, but realized that he wanted to be a singer himself. He released his first EP, "Strange Fruit" (produced by Tim Lauer) on February 15, 2009 containing the first songs he’d written by himself, most of them a capella. Ekko says of his location, Nashville, United States that he is "fortunate to be in a city that’s so loving and hospitable." From September 2009, he toured with the Nashville-based collective group, Ten Out of Tenn.
