I wake every morning, I
Hear the voice, I,
See the face.
A grin of ignorance.
A smile of arrogance,
And a head that's filled with lies.
Then I see your photograph.
And your pretty eyes.
And your velvet hair.
Yeah, you were someone that I could lean on.
And embrace.
And be thankful for.
That's when I was a boy.
Now I'm a man.
And I've learned through time,
Yeah, I made up my mind:
That's nothing left to earn.
Only to take.
Only to steal from.
And I've been stolen from.
CHORUS
Still I see you, standing over there.
With your arms reached high,
But your spirit’s so low.
Please, hold me.
Through this world of fear.
Guide me through
This sin to your love.
Now your past wasn't very bright.
You battled demons and you almost took your own life.
And I understand that this wasn't where you wanted to be.
And you have been torn apart.
You carry bruises and
You carry deep, red scars.
You’ve been neglected
By the men who don't know what’s right.
And don't know what's fair.
(CHORUS)
Rejecting sovereignty, this
Unraveling poverty has
Twisted our very dreams
Into some bleak regime, and
I don't know where to start, these
Vices have torn apart these
Upstanding histories and
Triumphant victories but
(CHORUS)
