lyrics

Oh, I’ve been hiding out in the dark
I thought I could burn brighter with a contrast so stark

‘Cause I’m not your doctor, your preacher
Your most influential teacher
I am just a man with a guitar

But I’ve got these sounds I can make with my mouth
That make the world feel better
In past have been used to harvest hate

And I understand why we want to watch
As others fall
It may make it seem like we stand taller
Though we don’t at all

I used to fear admitting how great things are would make this world grow pale
So I kept it to myself, instead tearing things down for the illusion of the great and the power

But I’ve got these lines that I can draw with pen and paper
To reveal truth
The same tools have been used to destroy

And it’s probably all my fault that I’m hardly used at all
Yeah, it’s all my fault I’m underused, misused

Though I’ve got these sounds I can make with my mouth
That make the world feel better
And I’ve got these lines that I can draw with pen and paper
To reveal truth
And I’ve got this love in my heart, that when let out
Helps to warm a globe grown cold
And it’s time I share what’s inside me
