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
