[Chorus]
Rain wash away the gray ties with your rainy skies,
Winterize the highs and lies, when it dries.
And When it dies, it has happened for a reason.
We need a fresh start to begin the spring season.
[Verse 1[
Bob Dylan once told me, these times they are a-changin'-
Looking up at what we're under, I take in all I'm facin'
As I sit back and wonder-I contemplate our situation,
The world in which we're placed in, I'm stunned, cause it's amazing.
How many people in this world, take their life for granted,
I can't understand it-dammit, I thought we were all planted,
In god's garden. So pardon my misconceptions,
But ever since conception, I've been inspecting our protection.
So-I-guess, my lesson, has only just begun.-
As I, reach-for-sun, someone reaches for his gun.-
Instead of, teaching-their-son, they gotta teach em to run.
I'd rather, reach-for-the-fun, I-guess-this lessons never done.
I wish we could wipe away, all the gray thoughts tomorrow.-
Tell the sunshine to stay, and it's light rays to borrow.
See a brighter day, and no longer have to wallow.
in the sadness, so I pray, to do away with all the sorrow.
[Verse 2]
So many people, look to the sky for god to help us,
But sometimes I ask myself "why are we so helpless?"
Why do we sit back, and rely on other people?
To change the way of world, do we think that we're unequal?
As I sit under this steeple, these questions cloud my head,
distracting from the words, that the father has said.
Dissecting proverbs, in the scriptures I have read,
As I try to understand, this life that I have lead.
Have I made the right choices? Provided voices for the mute?
Have I helped my fellow man, to understand what to do?
Am I even qualified, to provide them something new?
Is everything that I do, from my heart pure and true?
I knew it from the start, I felt it in my heart.
We gotta put it back together-When everything falls apart,
Stop living in the dark and waiting for those sun rays,
Waiting for that one day, we're praying for on sundays.
Living in the mundane, state of mind we're used to.
The one that let us lose-that we used to tie the noose to.
The one they drank the booze to, let loose the bad news.
So vamoose, the disgrace and replace it with truth.-
We're the ones to change the world, the youth of the nation.
We gotta uplift the souls without no hesitation.
All the strength left inside us, it needs to be uncurled
Cause you gotta be the change you wanna see in this world.
[Verse 3]
I don't believe that one man, can stand on his own.
But he doesn't need a nation to embrace in all he knows.
We got a long list of Pros, that will outweigh the cons,
We gotta all stick together, in these rough days and times.
We gaze into the darkness, like a painter paints an artist,
We're left with rainbow arches, as it breaks apart the darkness.
It takes apart the hardest, moments of our lives...
All we need is Hope, Hope to stay alive.
And I hope that we survive, nope, I know we'll make it through.
Cause United we stand, under-this-Red, White and Blue.
Flag we hold it true, they can't break us apart.
and with Hope to guide us through-soon we'll see a Fresh Start
