A Prayer for the Sane Lyrics by Danny Schmidt

2020

[Verse 1]
Tear the world in half
The haves from have-not halves
They've built a fire between us
And hoped like hell to raise the Phoenix
Tear the world in two
The truths from the half-the-truths
The lies and the bad disguises
From the facts and Nobel prizes, yeah
[Verse 2]
These were once good lands
Of good neighbors and good friends
We used to fight like dancers
One call with different answers
These were open lands
And strangers were our future friends
But fences make for consequences
We’re prisoners of our own defenses, yeah
[Verse 3]
Now our heart’s been broken
Lost our way but found it stolen
Hidden in a storm of nothing
A hurricane of newsmen blushing
Now our eyes are bleeding
Tears of the loss of reason
A pool of our own objections
Honest men with no reflections, yeah
[Verse 4]
Here’s the choice my sister
Gentle warrior, fierce resistor
Fill the sky like blackbirds
Or sit and watch the world spin backwards
Here’s the choice my brother
Old soldier, different drummer
March hard to break the borders
Or stand guard the old world orders
Here’s the choice my child
Raise your hands and reconcile
While the king kneels down before us
It’s time for you to rise in chorus
It’s time to set our anger free
It’s time for facts to shade beliefs
It’s time to name the new north star
It’s time for flames to skewer the dark
It’s time to shake the voting booth
It’s time for us to scream the truth
[Verse 5]
Now’s it’s time my friends
Time to make us whole again
Just as the world revolves
Let’s get these broken days resolved
