Brett Perkins - Staring At The Sun lyrics

rate me

I see so many people

As I walk these cities and these towns

Some souls truly shining

Some worn down to the ground

And I see people chasing dreams

Some chasing dollars 'til they drown

Seems the more they have

Then the more they need

And the more they'll fight to hold it down

Staring at the sun, staring at the sun

We're staring at the sun

So I read the papers, watched the tv

For the heroes we all fall about

Most like children on a playground

Only noticed by how loud they scream and shout

But how we love our heroes

Almost as much as we like to tear them down

For they are all that we are not

And we are not to be let down

Staring at the sun, staring at the sun

We're staring at the sun

And do you see the storm that's coming?

Do you think that it's too late?

Are you blinded by your love?

Or by your ignorance and hate?

And do you think you're the only one?

The only one who's ever felt the call of fate?

And felt your life had just begun?

While you were staring at the sun

And as a child, I heard Martin Luther

Call to the people "Now let freedom ring!"

But they shot him down

For the change his love would bring

And so I asked myself, so I asked myself

Who would do these hateful things?

And in the end I found, in the end I found

That they are you and me

And do you see the storm that's coming?

Do you think that it's too late?

Are you blinded by your love?

Or by your ignorance and hate?

And do you think you're the only one?

The only one who's ever thought to hesistate?

And felt your life had come undone?

While you were staring at the sun

Staring at the sun, staring at the sun

We're staring at the sun
