lyrics

Just before 9:00 a.m., trying to find some humour in at all
Making sausage to celebrate becoming vegetarian last fall

And we all have days like this
where the world's a total mess
I just want to live in a place where no one ignores me

Just before half past noon
And I'm hurting my own feelings
Trying to win imaginary arguments with you
And now, my head's just spinning

But we all do this sometimes
We believe our own lies
I just want to live in a mind that doesn't attack me

Familiar ghosts, they breeze right through
As they blow, the flower shrivels to the root
You've gotta be perennial to make it through

Just before I forget
Or if it's something I haven't said
Never listen to a government that would have you hate your fellow man

We're keeping them in cages
We treat them like they're still slaves
I just want to live in a land where everyone's equal

And we don't get there through inaction or excuse
We arrive through the actions of me and you
We are seed.
We are root.

It's darkest before the dawn but we know that day will come
Every time they kill a revolutionary another's born

We've been having this conversation
For generations
I just want to be a part of the change that I want to see

Cause God is a million people doing what is right
It sounds like a million voices raising to the fight
The reason they cannot kill us is because darkness can never kill light
Only become it.
We are light.
