lyrics

The days are long
The hours pass
There’s countless cowards avoiding their emotions
The feeling’s fleeting
We’re all in need and hoping for
There’s something much greater
There’s something much crazier
It’s a matter of fact that we don’t all believe in the same things
It’s part of life and being human beings
I swear it’s all the same
The world’s a giant wasteland
We’re all just feeling the patient pulling
Countless years have passed
Let's stop pretending where we’re heading is filled with truth

All the questions in my mind, they keep blinding me
Hiding and lying behind the reality that I am in
Time passes with the seasons, I’m feeling all these feelings
I can’t explain my reasons, I’m on another level now
They want to try to see me figure my way out
But they ain’t got me, they just want to fill my mind with doubt
I doubt they’re really down to round and drown the nation out
I ‘BLAOW’ and sound all types of crazy ‘til they hear me out
I’ve been around, I’ve been observing
I’ve been learning, getting curved and it really burns me out
‘Cause I really feel like I deserve a little more respect
‘Cause I’ve been pushing for a better world, ain’t in it for a check
Like it ain’t nothing
My little cousin, my little brother
They was all in love with- different drugs and all types of substance
They really wanted, but all they needed was-
Hugs and lovin’
A little something to show there wasn’t only one way or one play
Tomorrow’s day is another page
But they stayed too scared to turn the covers over
And all they ever wanted to have was something special
And because they never felt it, it was detrimental
The time passed
The hours fade
The cowards face- always looks the same
So ashamed
Like “Look at all the mess I made”
Like “I can’t put this on my resume”
Hey, what’s your destiny?
You ain’t dead to me
You just broke, you ain’t broken- your soul can never be
I’ll tell you souls can bleed, from what I’ve seen
I believe we’re all in need and we just need to be-
Our little piece in the puzzle, is unity even humanly possible?
Brothers and sisters, I’m on my knees praying and pleading
We need to believe in each other
Mother and child, mother of God
Give me a sign that I’m not just wasting my time
My good intentions only meant to make these walls divide
So we can build again and mend the fences, ties that died
It’s our time to rise and grind
You’re my brother; no matter your color
You’re my cousin; no matter who you love, man
We gotta fight together
We fight for better
I’ll fight forever
Despite the writers of the history books
The crooks that make the world look however they want it
My mind spinning like Sonic
I got violent ‘til I vomit
I’m no pilot, but I’ll take you where I’m flying
There’s a fine lining between heaven and hell, that’s where I’ve been residing
I can’t promise I’ll hogtie the giant
But I’ll obviously try it
Look how David beat Goliath
With a slingshot filled with a bunch of faith inside it
So I’ll grip it in my palms and let the blood flow through my veins
But this ain’t hatred
This love filled with anger, fear, and rage
This is really what it takes to take the pain up off my brain
We’ve become divided more than ever really it’s a shame
So who’s to blame?
Did we really let it get to this?
Indifferences- our enemies that led us down this drain
We just couldn’t all agree, so now we need some kind of change
But the money in your pocket’s not the profit that I seek
No, I’m speaking from a soul inside this solar system, see
Save the bees, plant a tree, maybe hug someone in need
We can learn, we can love, we can merge in the mud
When the rain hits the floor, I just hope that it floods
It ain’t you, it ain’t me, it is us, it is we
It is love, it is pure, it is simplicity
It is all that we need and all that I breathe
My heart sings when I speak on the beat
I false start as a run through the streets
It’s irony I feel I’m being chased by defeat
Too anxious to wait, I just want to Get Home Safe
I was Asking to Leave, but now I’m Dying to Stay
I can take all this weight, I say prayers, I give thanks
I just hope that we make it, can’t wait for that day
‘Til then I’mma give, I’mma love, I’mma live
‘Til my words run dry, or can serve as a script
So I’ll say what I mean, and I mean what I felt
Because no matter the shuffle, the cards that were dealt
We’re all here as one and we’re all here to help
This is good, this is real
This is meant to be felt

Love will always win, love will always conquer
Love will always win, love will always conquer
Love will always win, love will always conquer
Love will always win, love will always conquer
