Lyrics by Chris Bryden

lyrics

I see so much suffering in the faces of those
I encounter street side
Light bulb dim eye sockets sunken in
My heart grows soft in my chest.

I’ve been through valleys where the children had no clothes
Slept on boats heard the prayer call rising
Seeking people who are not afraid to show love
Who can undress their soul.
Are you one?

Silent wounds we tend to late in the night
Thoughts we think but never speak
We’ve all got shadows why hide them away?
It’s okay to feel pain.

The time when our humanity comes alive
Is when we stop being something we’re not
Watch the children play you’ll get what I mean
Take a seat by the tree
And you’ll see.

Don’t say no
Just say yeah
Don’t say no
Just say yeah.

In light of all that life has shown me thus far
A 9 to 5 is hard to go for
And every time I try to numb down my brain
I’m awakened once more.

We live as though life will forever go on
But one day we’ll take our last breath
I long to know I’ve lived each day seeing this
When my eyes close for good.

When I’m gone.
