lyrics

Sun peeks over horizon sky reluctant to start the day
And thinks “I’ll just go back to bed. I’m just not feeling it that way.”
Planet killers behind our star lurking wherever they are
The earth bleeds her magma stream
saying, “I ain’t got the stomach for another dream.”

Oh, what have we done, what have we become
How we need your healing rays

Is there any way you can go back
But you can never go back
The courage to trek on while you sing your lonely song

In the face of all the wrong
Stay true to that path you’re on
A present help in time of need
Will get you through the violent seas

Oh, what have we done, what have we become
How we need your healing rays

Power crushes the feet of clay
Humankind we’re just made that way
The best can do is create art
Blood and dirt on the canvas of histories crimes

Oh what have we done what have we become
How we need your healing rays

Does it take a revolution
To wipe the slate clean
But who’s revoluation
And who’s instituation sceheme

Oh what have we done what have we become
How we need your healing rays
Oh what have we done what have we become
How we need your healing rays
Oh what have we done what have we become
How we need your healing rays

Sun peers over the horizon hesitant to start the day
And thinks, “I’ll just go back to bed. I’m just not feeling it that way.”
What have we done what have we become
How we need your healing rays how we need your warming days
What have we done what have we become
Creation travails as one
