Glass Mirror Nation

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They sold the sky in pieces Wrapped truth in a headline sheen My phone keep feeding fever Till I forgot what freedom means Faces change like weather Names get traded for a brand Kids grow up on borrowed mirrors Trying to fit that borrowed plan I seen the dollar bless the liar And the honest man go thin Whole towns move like chessboards When the cameras lean in Still I walk with my questions Like a light under my coat If the world is a crowded echo I want one real note [Pre-Chorus] And we keep on reaching Through the noise, through the smoke If we lose the meaning Then we lose what makes us whole [Chorus] Tell me we can rise Tell me we can heal Hold on to the truth Even when it hurts to feel We are more than noise We are more than doubt Hold on to the truth Let the human in come out [Verse 2] Now every screen got a sermon Every face got a mask Everybody want a shortcut Nobody wants to ask Who built these walls around us Why we praise what fades so fast Why a child can know the price tag Before they know the past I got scars from the system Got hope in my chest Got my mother in my conscience Got my father in my breath If the world keeps spinning faster Let me be the one who stays With my hands in the dirt And my eyes on better days [Pre-Chorus] And we keep on reaching Through the noise, through the smoke If we lose the meaning Then we lose what makes us whole [Chorus] Tell me we can rise Tell me we can heal Hold on to the truth Even when it hurts to feel We are more than noise We are more than doubt Hold on to the truth Let the human in come out [Bridge] I hear the children calling From the edge of a changing world They don't need a perfect answer They just need the truth unfurled So cut the false gold open Let the real blood show If love is the last light standing Then let that light still grow [Final Chorus] Tell me we can rise Tell me we can heal Hold on to the truth Even when it hurts to feel We are more than noise We are more than doubt Hold on to the truth Let the human in come out Tell me we can rise Tell me we can rise Hold on to the truth Till the dark gives up its crown
