lyrics

I
I broke the spell
I broke the curse
That was making me ill

I broke my neck while looking back at the past
Falling prey to an endless dream
I’m gunna do like they say and paint the lemons gold
Taking aim at positivity

Calling out
To the ones who can change
Singing the humanity blues

With Empathy
And desperation
We sing the humanity blues

You
You see the pain
You see the thorn
That is making us ill

As the birds fly away at the sound of the gun
We are the ones who turn to see
The king with the weapon and the blindfolded pawns
Taking aim at our liberty

Chorus

I get in line and walk the plank with you
Out of time, we have the choice to open our eyes

On faith alone we choose to see
On faith alone
We follow the sun
Till the battle is won
We follow the sun
