lyrics

These eyes have been blinded
By the ashes of American dreams
Can’t afford to call the doctor
Hard believe in the land of the free
It’s a masquerade of peace
Using mothers sons in every useless war
These days everyone got the fight inside them
More fight than reasons for

They’re sure to give us fear
Be prepared to be profiled
Watch out for what someone could be hiding
Could be a gun
Could be the latest style

We are going to rise up
Off of our knees
And catch that wing of a dove
In the dirt and blood among the leaves
When there is no will for power
When we care less about whose won
It is then we will know
The secret behind the sun
I am sun
I am the sun that gives light to the sun

Maxed out in isolation
Intoxicated by the seeds
We no longer want what you’ve been feeding us
We know what goes on behind the scenes

We don t need to kill in the name of religion
Your religion is an enemy of God
I am not sure these days where God is
But I surly know where he is not

We are going to rise up
Off of our knees
And catch that wing of a dove
In the dirt and blood among the leaves
When there is no will for power
When we care less about whose won
It is then we will know
The secret behind the sun
I am sun that gives light to the sun

Come on people rise
Say it like you mean it
Peace could be a smile
For someone who has never seen one
