Standing on top of the dawn
Empty bottles, all hope is gone
I can smell that the end is near
When I leave, they'll still be here
Children all covered in dust
There is no one around they can trust
When they pray, does God really hear?
When they pay, do we even care?
If I dig a little deeper, I might find a little more
If I open up my eyes, I can't ignore
If I stop making excuses, if I start with something small
I might find peace of mind after all
verse 2
Eyes filled with fear stare a hole
In my soul, I can feel how it grows
Empty words echo loud in this world
While the voices in need can't be heard
Nothing in life comes for free
It's a lie told by you & me
Can we change, can we split the sea?
If we pay, there's a chance maybe
If we dig a little deeper, we might find a little more
If we open up our eyes, we can't ignore
If we stop making excuses, if we start with something small
We might find peace of mind after all
Bridge
No more lies, we let each other down
If we close our eyes, we're letting people drown
No more whinin', this is where we are
So, don't hold your fire, take a stand & aim for the heart
If we dig a little deeper, we might find a little more
If we open up our eyes, we can't ignore
If we stop making excuses, if we start with something small
We might find peace of mind after all
