Please Dont Look Away Anymore

do you hear that

it’s right over there i know it’s scary

but you gotta look

no not there there you see

right amongst the gleaming twilight past

the amber

waves of grain

[Music]

no you’re you’re looking in the wrong

place you’re so silly

you are always looking in the wrong

place

listen out for the drums the drums tell

the story a

battle of peace of banners of blood

spilt upon bloody

beliefs who’s out there in the field

who’s stealing their year don’t the kids

want to play

not like us you say

of pilgrims and promises of god-like

documents

but the ability to determine for decades

the destiny of who will be the

disadvantage

and those who will cradle comfortably in

future

histories hammock i completely agree

with you

i had no idea that the right to bear

arms included

pens that something so seemingly

harmless

could bastardize and monetize the hearts

of men

listen for the drums the drums they tell

the story

tell me you see that pass the oak tree

and all the dark fruit hanging from it

go back a few hundred years past

that do you see where that treaty lay

torn on the ground there

next to the sleeping buffalo i know

let’s just call it sleeping for now

just listen to the drums and the songs

the songs always tell the story

there right there that’s where they’re

going to build america

no we’re not invited yet but we’re

coming anyway

we are marching in like a college drum

line like swans escaping the winter into

the beating heart of the sunshine and

this time

we are going to keep watch this century

we will stand century

we can’t look away we cannot look away

still i don’t understand it why is he

hurting that man

she is begging him to stop seems wrong

does it not

and the world is rising and the case is

climbing

[Music]

this is the most important movie you

will ever see

don’t walk out of the theater after the

fancy special effects

pay attention to the end credits to who

is the director

who are the producers who was involved

in writing the script and what was their

inspirations

who has the key grip upon your community

and who are merely actors playing a role

do you know any of this do not look away

this time

i know the plain text on the screen is

boring so while you were reading

listen to the score in the background

the soundtrack the drums the songs

the voices always tell the story the

drums

the songs the voices always tell the

story

they are saying we are here this is the

spot where the revolutions happen

if that word is too buzzed for you call

it a

renovation this is the spot where the

second great american renovation

happens it doesn’t look like the picture

we all envisioned

yet but this is the spot where the work

begins

the drums the songs the arts the voices

always tell the story it’s time pull out

whatever

is your god-given instrument

and sing

[Music]

this isn’t the time to look away this

isn’t the time

to shrink you do not serve the world by

hiding your lights

your truth we are building something

here we are building something right

this time

we are building something now

you’re an american

you
