I felt these hands of mine I felt the sands of time Like ghosts inside the hourglass Like shadows of the sun Raise your flags By the lights of dawn Save yourself Save us all Be the change you wish to see Or find a brand new way to breathe Set your heart to learn Keep your bridge unburned Push your hands into the dirt And feel the promise of the earth If you believe in your transgressions You carve your deadly crimes in stone Where power is a weapon We watch our statues decompose (we watch humanity unfold) We'll only live as long As we choose to carry on
