A track from a great little short film. It’s available on iTunes, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good short film.
i see people on the corner holding their signs
people in the road forming a picket line
want the world to know they’re here
trying to make their message clear
i honk for peace and hear them cheer
watch them smile in my rearview mirror
keep on driving, just pass on by
i’ll honk again at the next sign
it’s hard to face reality, so i’ll just keep on dreaming
it’s plain to see, we don’t have the answers
but we think we know, and so it goes
it’s plain to see, we don’t have it together
but we think we know, so it goes on
students in the green arms intertwined
candles lit, swaying side to side
show the world that we’re aware
but we’re not going anywhere
i can’t remember which petition i signed
but i sleep pretty well each night
knowing that i’ve done my share in showing everyone i care
it’s hard to face reality, so i’ll just keep on dreaming
it’s plain to see, we don’t have the answers
but we think we know, and so it goes
it’s plain to see, we don’t have it together
but we think we know, so it goes on
but while we’re standing in the streets
they’re fighting off disease
i’m in the comfort of my bed
not dealing with a shred
of this war between nations and this war against nature
it’s a battlefield that i’ve never seen
it’s plain to see, we don’t have the answers
but we think we know, and so it goes
it’s plain to see, we don’t have it together
but we think we know, so it goes on
and so it goes on
o must it go on

The Rocket Summer - “Roses”
Can you see the air change?
Can you see that a hear breaks?
I know that both do happen.
But all I want is faith.
Because I can feel this,
And so much so I believe it.
But still there is a struggle,
And all I want is faith.
And I believe I’ll move the mountains,
I think,
Or maybe I’ll drown in the sea.
Keep holding on,
All I got is holding on these roses,
The thorns keep on digging but my soul believes…please.
So here I breathe in oxygen I can’t see,
The oxygen that keeps me alive and wary,
Oh, yes I do perceive
That like the birds find provision and sanctuary,
You do this even more so for me…
But all I want is faith.
And I believe I’ll more the mountains,
I think
Or maybe I’ll drown in the sea.
Keep holding on,
All I got is holding on these roses,
The thorns keep on digging but my soul believes…please.
Places, seasons,
Millions of pieces,
Together and all alone,
Needing, Repeating,
Living and bleeding,
Lost in the cohesion.
Stagnant or will I run?
Give up or will I run into arms that are open?
Get rid of all the fear,
I know that you are here.
Keep holding on,
All I got is holding on these roses,
The thorns keep on digging but my soul believes…I see!
And it’s reminding me
That the thorns you wear
Is love that we must share.
