Verse 1

C♯m Can we say that we are fEree,

  our hands are bBound and voices C♯msilent.

  I’m sure it's not a dEream,

  I am aBwake, my eyes are C♯mopen.

  I can’t acAcept and won’t conBcede

  in afterG♯mmath we find redC♯memption.

  The Acauses that are Bseized,

  and G♯mdisguised as revoC♯mlution.

Verse 2

Quell the rage that deeply seethes

the extremes of these devotions.

Dismantle a machine,

the device of their creation.

I can’t accept and won’t concede

that this is who we are.

The conflict that is seized

and disguised as greater notions.

Chorus

  To the Esongs that sing of glory and the bBrave

  Are we C♯mdreaming there are better days to G♯mcome?

  When will the Ebanners and the victory parBades

  celebC♯mrate the day a better world is G♯mwon?

  EOn the Bday the G♯mstorm has just beC♯mgun

  I will still Ahope there are Bbetter days to Ecome.

Verse 3

In the face of what I say

my words would turn to anger.

Malevolence in need

cannot provide direction.

I won’t accept this thought

that this is who we are.

Positions never change,

losing all forward motion.

Verse 4

Hamper that which deeply seethes,

temper your devotion.

Dismantle the machine,

the device of you conviction.

Can’t accept and won’t concede

that this is who we are.

The conflict that is seized

and disguised as greater notions.

Chorus

To the songs that sing of glory and the brave

Are we dreaming there are better days to come?

When will the banners and the victory parades

celebrate the day a better world is won?

To the songs that sing of glory and the brave

Are we dreaming there are better days to come?

When will the banners and the victory parades

celebrate the day a better world is won?

On the day

the storm has just begun

I will still hope

there are better days to come.

On the day

the storm has just begun

I will still hope

there are better days to come.
