lyrics

She says we're going to have a renaissance,
I thought, of what though?
Of consciousness, of livelihood, at least she hopes so.
I didn't say about that dream I had, or did it happen?
The voice that said, "look to the east, there is an omen"
No snow on the mountain top, the creek bed that's just dirt and rock
I read a book that said embrace the hopelessness when things fall apart
only trouble is no one wants to live with a broken heart

He said the past was a horrid place and to be grateful
to be born in an era like this, less grim and hateful
Buried inside, there's truth there to keep us faithful
to every lie that lets us sleep, but what will we wake to?
The endless wars we don't know how to stop
No charges for another white cop
open your heart and mind, the anger's rising, hope it don't stop
we're all gonna play a part whether we act or not
We live in a world that ranked itself first when it got wealthy
extracting death, yet they're expecting a happy ending
What will you do with this one life you are granted?
If we only knew, is it delusion or enchantment?
