Don’t you hear everywhere ignorance is mocking don’t you see clouds of doubt are all around don’t you hear everywhere the way that they are talking don’t you know they drive this love train underground if I cry that I’m slipping would you try don’t let me fall if I cry that I’m slipping would you try don’t let me fall don’t you see every day the innocent are dying don’t you hear the wheels of justice are derailed don’t you see everyday that they dismantle reason are you going to be silent for this whole season and the sky is falling everywhere can you see I’m pulling out my hair see how they shove us all around and the fire falls to the ground

Looking out my window Don’t like what I see In this winter of peril and possibility Every day’s a new horror story I cannot pour from an empty cup But as the fires are burning I know the tides are turning Oh, oh, these turning tides… Oh, oh, these turning tides… Things are looking up But I’m still not sure who to trust All my downs are climbing up But I still feel a little bit flat The hope keeps rising up But I’m looking over my shoulder I’m starting to dream again Or have I been wa-king-up? To these turning tides Oh, oh, these turning tides… Oh, oh, these turning tides… Father forgive them They don’t know what they do Father protect us Pulling close to you Father forgive them They don’t know what they do Father protect us As we move through these turning tides Oh, oh, these turning tides… Oh, oh, these turning tides…

First comes the flood we’re floating around and then the crash can you hear the sound but who do we trust when none can be found it’s enough to drive a person underground And you enter the room, a suite of insincerities, as the waters reflect the darkness ‘round your basin of lies you’ll have to excuse our informalities but we came here to say we won’t back down and the truth will rise and you can’t keep us down keep us down keep us down no you can’t keep us down keep us down keep us down Next comes the change served on the breeze by the crowds of people just trying to breathe push comes to show of we fall to our knees we’ve had enough can’t you just stop please But you enter the room, a suite of insincerities, as the waters reflect the darkness ‘round your basin of lies you’ll have to excuse our informalities but we came here to say we won’t back down and the truth will rise what we have here is a failure of self reflection what we have here is a difference of conception all that we rely on has been laid to waste all the things you touch turn into disgrace (2x) you enter the room, a suite of insincerities, as the waters reflect the darkness ‘round your basin of lies you’ll have to excuse our informalities but we came here to say we won’t back down and the truth will rise

We’ve been talked out of love we’ve been talked out of acceptance we’ve been talked out of remembrance we’ve been cheated of our time we are fragile as lightbulbs can you hear us cracking A little closer to darkness on every side and we know that time’s not on our side we know that we are the ones we know that we’ve spent all our lives we know that now it is done while the earth is slowly turning and our cathedrals are burning we’ve allowed this to rise weren’t paying attention thought that we were all one but we had blinders on our eyes we let down our guard full of congratulation memories are still hazy from where we’ve come and we know that time’s not on our side we know that we are the ones we know that we’ve spent all our lives we know that now it is done while the earth is slowly turning and our cathedrals are burning

So it seems that we’re surrounded And the lies are all around us Eyes are down & we are hopeless And we’re struggling to breathe in the Summer haze of summer days This was my country. Summer haze of summer days Hello Lady Liberty Summer haze of summer days This was my country. Summer haze of summer days Hello Lady Liberty What is happening here? Got tricked again! Ah - Where are you purple mountains?!? Ah - And waves of grain? Ah - What happened to the brotherhood? Ah - From sea to shining sea? Now the mood is getting heavier And there’s no one to believe in All the broken feet are marching In the darkness & the dust of the Summer haze of summer days This was my country. Summer haze of summer days Hello Lady Liberty Summer haze of summer days This was my country. Summer haze of summer days Hello Lady Liberty I see a crack in your shell… And we’re sick of seeing our fellow humans cut down…. And we’re sick of seeing our hopes & dreams hit the ground And we’re sick of seeing our fellow humans cut down…. Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh Cut down! Ah - Cause we can move the mountains! Ah - Ride waves of grain! Ah - And we can build a brotherhood! Ah - From sea to shining sea Can we dream again? What is happening here?

The powerlines go flying by as the train rushes past a tumbleweed mocks with its freedom down on the border there are ceaseless cries of pain and I’m praying for rain Let it rain peace and mercy from the sky cradle all of these children in rafts of light bring them home to their own mothers arms and heal every heart that’s been broken and worn The winds of fear are howling all around the tempest tossed and water in the desert brings detention. some believe that misery is the price for running scared but oh they wouldn’t dare Some were stopped at the setting of the sun Some were lost before their destination Some were tossed away like nothing at all And some arrived at an invisible wall.. Broken and worn broken and worn broken and torn broken and torn

There’s only one you There’s only one me Both of us, afraid of who we’re meant to be Resistance is strong But we can shine on We can make the dreams reality We’ll be sparks of light, in a velvet night We shine… We shine like the stars in the summer sky We shine like the glimmering sunlight We shine like the heavens up above We shine And the world’s gonna be so bright When we shine Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on We’ll be sparks of light, in a velvet night We’ll be sparks of light, in a velvet sky Sparks of light, in a velvet night Sparks of light, Mmmmm…. We shine like the stars in the summer sky We shine like the glimmering sunlight We shine like the heavens up above We shine And the world’s gonna be World’s gonna be We shine like the stars in the summer sky We shine like the glimmering sunlight We shine like the heavens up above We shine And the world’s gonna be so bright When we shine Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on Whoa – oh – oh Oh – oh – oh Shine on Mmmm….
