From the recording Until the Oceans Rise, Vol. 1
Lyrics
Even facts are opinions these days
When did the truth become up for debate?
While liars roam free all the heroes have strayed
You won’t see it but you’ll know something’s wrong
Its’ a feeling inside us that won’t go away
Don’t cry sweetheart this is only a song
In the morning the sun will still rise
Will you stare at it straight or keep closing your eyes?
While the bullets still fly and the laws compromise?
Will you wait ‘til your brothers are gone?
Or shine a light on the ones who pull the strings in disguise?
Don’t cry sweetheart it’s only a song
From the platform the echos will ring
Will you hear the inflection or words of the king?
For those who speak truth, they might not also sing
Listen hard so your ears become strong
You’ll need all your strength to reveal everything
Don’t cry sweetheart it’s only a song
Brothers in need will reach out
Will you offer a hand or refuse them for doubt?
Are the loneliest souls always loudest to shout?
Who am I to decide who belongs?
Is a line in the sand what this life is about?
Don’t cry sweetheart it’s only a song
And some people say it’s a sin
To bring a new life to the world as it’s been
But those are the cowards so quick to give in
And you are the proof that they’re wrong
This battle eternal takes the thickest of skin
So don’t cry sweetheart it’s only a song
I don’t know the truth I admit
Everyone loses their mind for a bit
But who would I be if I sold out and quit?
My dreams are the clearest at dawn
So every morning I’ll wake up and give ‘em a shot
Sleep tight sweetheart, this is only a song
