This is the most recent song I've written. It's kind of a protest song, a call to arms to end the war in Iraq.
Im too awake to close my eyes
I hear too well to ignore the cries
Its not enough to just ask why
You have to try
Its not too late to get it done,
Your problems find you
no matter where your run
So turn and face the biggest ones
You have to try
CHORUS:
There are no people in the streets,
Everyones been asleep,
Four thousand die, no ones keeping their eye
on the ball
Weve been distracted by everyday life
so wrapped up in our daily strife
That we cant see the man holding the knife
At our throat
So turn around and face the wind
Together I know we can begin
to be the change that comes from within
You have to try.
Its getting dark
I cant see your hand
You were there when it all began
Have you given up or will you stand
You have to try
REPEAT CHORUS
I cant wait on the world to change,
It wont just happen
Youre left feeling
strange.
