This is the first part of a 2 part suite about the state of politics in America and how politicians refuse to simply listen to what the common people have to say.

lyrics

RISE Pt.1 (For John)

It’s not up to me to design society
I see the edges burn, as I drift through this insanity
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words

Why must I be here, beneath the fury and the noise
When all I need to feel is the freedom of my choice
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words

Arn’t they all the same, complicit in their evil games
The purest sign of shame, letting others take the blame
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words

While I count the days and look around me for a sign
When tomorrow comes, the fools are running out of time
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words

Ease up your mind our time will come
It’s all the same with your deeds undone
Make no mistake, for it won’t be long now
Our peace holds the key, you’ll see somehow

Absolution is what we’re sold
A goal, so elusive, we're striving for
The need to know that all is right
When everyone, everywhere see’s the light

Understand, it’s not long now
Our peace holds the key, you’ll see somehow

Rise! On your feet, protest the signs you see
Now or never, it’s not too late
Drown the noise from the streets

Science says all is right
You can’t fear what you can’t see

It’s not up to me to design society
I see the edges burn, as I drift through this insanity
Common to all the people, voices left unheard
I can’t begin to comprehend the anger in their words

We’re so sorry, we really didn't know
Thought we heard it somewhere, surly we were told?
Someone once said, you just gotta grow
Yet somehow, we just can’t recall
Like old times, long before the fall
You can’t fear what you can’t see

We’re so sorry, we really didn’t know
Thought we heard it somewhere, surly we were told?
Someone once said, you just gotta grow
Yet somehow, I just can’t recall
Like old times, long before the fall
You can’t fear what you can’t see
