Lyrics and Audio
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
Everyone is waiting for the other shoe
to drop
Moments are good, but trouble never
stops
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
Put money aside for another day
Get a little older, got bills to
pay
Men who have it all, want to take
it all away
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
Out of control things are getting
worse
Forward too fast with no reverse
I hope that life is better in the multiverse
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
Bragg
about success and the art of the deal
Knowing
folks are worried about their next meal
It’s
cruell this ain’t cool, this can’t be real….
right
now I can’t ignore the way that I feel
Nothing now is as it was before
Friends up north are worried about
a war
Worried about people that need a
little more
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
The future is ours, in the end
We have lost the truth, we have lost
some friends
It’s gonna take some time before it’s
gonna mend
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
Everyone is waiting for the other shoe
to drop
Moments are good, but trouble
never stops
I don’t know what we’re gonna do
What are we waiting for, have you been keeping score it’s time
I always believed that someone would come Stand up to the bad guys
Stand up to the war crimes
on our own now together we huddle underground, don’t make a sound
Dark feeds on fear as souls disappear, never to be found
A false King has been crowned
Watching the news, I was worried that someone might hurt me
not for something I did, but for sharing the belief
Everyone is equal, and they simply want to live
on our own now together we huddle underground, Don’t make a sound
Dark feeds on fear, souls disappear, never to be found
A false king has been crowned
Have you ever looked into the eyes of the people that we hurt
Or dared to look inside, dig deep
Dig deeper in the dirt
Anxiety haunts me, we never thought it could happen here
It’s more than a dream. We are justified in fear
Fear of what’s coming next, history has made that clear
on our own now together we huddle underground, don’t make a sound
Dark feeds on fear, as souls disappear, never will be found
A false king has been crowned
What are we waiting for
Have you been keeping score it’s
time
How do we hold memories, how do we protect the truth
How do we share the story, of a time before our youth
Pass it along, word of mouth, pass it along don’t leave it out
Pass It along with your songs
Pass it along
Collections lost, they’re banning books, empty shelves lost to the crooks
Withholding moments of our time. Universities comply
Pass it along Word of mouth, pass it along don’t leave it out
Pass It along, with your songs
Pass it along
Don’t let them hide your sorrow, don’t let them mask your pain
Don’t forget tomorrow, the thoughts inside your brain
May the suffering souls memories remain
So Pass it along long
Pass it along.......
The ancient people passed it along, all their joy, all their wrongs
Though the text may be withdrawn a melody retains a song
for centuries
Pass it along word of mouth pass it along don’t leave it out
Pass It along, with a song
Pass it along, Pass it along
Let’s do it for love
Let’s do for the people in our lives
Let’s do it for joy
We shouldn’t have to try
Let’s do it for life
I’m not talking bout mine, not talking back you
Let’s do it this time
Cause it’s the right thing to do
Let’s do it for the rainbows
Let’s do it for the sun
Let’s do it as the waves come crashing
And you know a storm is going to come
Let’s do it for the future
And everything that lives
Celebrate the moment
With all we have to give
Let’s do it for the song
Let’s do it for the music in our heart
All sing along
There is no better time to start
There is much more that we don’t know
In the stars so far away
In this space we can grow
As the past slowly fades
I could not fake this, if we could take this
Moment together we shared in a dream
Through time we both travel, years pass us by
Now it’s all brand new
I am deeply fond of you
The ancients before us always found a way
Might have been survival just to get through the day
It could have been love like I have for you
Now it’s all brand new
I’m deeply fond of you.
My heart had been broken before we had spoken
I didn’t think I could love anymore
My view has changed and it’s thanks to you
now it’s all brand new
I’m deeply fond of you
And the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousSomeday
I was walking with my brotherAnd he wondered what's on my mindI said what I believe in my soulAin't what I see with my eyesAnd we can't turn our backs this time
I am a patriotAnd I love my countyBecause my country is all I knowI want to be with my familyThe people who understand meI've got nowhere else to go
And the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousSomeday
And I was talking with my sisterI said, what's on your mind?"She said, "I want to run like the lion"Released from the cagesReleased from the ragesBurning in my heart tonight,
And I ain't no democrat and I ain't no republican and I ain't no communist and I ain't no capitalistI believe in one partyAnd its name is freedom
I am, I am, I amI am a patriotAnd I love my countryBecause my county is all I know
And the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousSomeday
And the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteousAnd the river opens for the righteous Someday

Just a little too late
Maybe
a little too soon
Might
seem like fate
Or
a random tune
You
might know the truth
And
still rejoice in a lie
I
hope once we recognize it
We
take a moment to cry
Its
some folks intention
To
make this life unfair
There
are some here among us
Who
really don’t care
So
we do the best we can
With
what little that have left to share…
There
will always be sorrow
There
will always be joy
Doesn’t
matter who you follow
Or
who you destroy
Give
a little bit back
Take
a little bit more
Say
a prayer to your savior
Send
em off to war
So
complicated
Things
have gotten strange
We
look for solutions
But
these times seem so deranged
Might
be time for a rewind
We
need a brand new start
We
don’t need more money
Just
a little a little more heart
Got a message from the station, they just shut down my my line
I ain’t coming back, there is trouble on the tracks
Cause a freight went off the rails in east Palestine
They said it might explode, people leave your homes
Governor says we’re fine, a disaster he denied
Left It up to
the railroad…
Norfolk Southern said it’s safe, the rain will wash it all away
We didn’t break
no rules
We wrote em
Tankers burned for days, left a poison haze
in the water shed, all of the fish are dead
The rules on rails has eased, to satisfy the greed
of the vanguard group, we got a toxic soup
Governor said we’re fine, A disaster he denied
Left It up to the railroad, Norfolk southern said it’s safe
The rain will
was it all away
We didn’t break
no rules
We wrote them
As the whole wide world starts waking up, the dawn can’t come to soon
To expose the damage that’s been done, at the hands a of a buffoon
Some have seen it coming, for a long long time
To them it seemed so obvious, while others ignored the signs
We were told exactly what would happen, we were told what to expect
We should have known
We should have known
And instead of great we fall from grace
Under a broken sky the entire world around us
Turns their backs, justified
We feel we are responsible, but helpless just the same
Lord we should have known
We should have known this game
We should have known there would be trouble with the power we gave
We should have known we had no chance for the promises we crave
We were told exactly what would happen we were told what to expect
We should have known
We should have known
And instead of great we fall from grace under a broken sky
The entire world around us turns their backs justified
We feel we are responsible but helpless just the same
we should have known
We should have known
We should have known
We should have known
Waters are rising high in the oceans
We’re witnessing things we hoped
we would never see
cruel hearted people
Hurting friends in need
If it’s not too late my hope is in
you
If it’s not too late my hope is in
you
The court of appeals, just gave in
As the darkness just sealed
another win
There were safeguards put in place
Now they are gone without a trace
If it’s not too late my hope is in
you
If it’s not too late my hope is in
you
My hope is in you
To celebrate the truth
Though it’s easy to get caught up
in the lies
My hope is you
Once the pages have been turned
I pray we never leave a single
soul behind
Utopian life has never come easy
We’ve got a lot of work to do just
to stop the pain
We’ve got to get back all we lost
before we can make some gains
If it’s not too late my hope is in
you
If it’s not too late my hope is in
you
