The Sun Hasn’t Set Yet

Lyrics

[VERSE 1] There’s smoke hanging over Main Street Static pouring through the wires Everybody’s selling outrage Everybody’s playing fire And the talking heads keep laughing Like Rome was just a joke While the poor keep getting buried Under someone else’s gold [PRE-CHORUS] But this country’s seen hard winters Before [CHORUS] The sun hasn’t set yet No, not on us There’s still ghosts out in these fields Still prayers inside the dust And if these walls come down If the dream bends till it breaks The morning’s still waiting somewhere Beyond the hate The sun hasn’t set yet ⸻ [VERSE 2] We were born from contradiction From rebellion and belief From the hands that built the railroads To the ones that marched the streets Yeah, we’ve shattered our own promise We’ve let power rule too long But I don’t believe the story ends With tyrants getting what they want [PRE-CHORUS] No empire lasts forever But people do ⸻ [CHORUS] The sun hasn’t set yet No, not on us There’s still truth beneath the noise Still good beneath the rust And if this country falls Like empires always do Maybe we become the seeds Of something new The sun hasn’t set yet ⸻ [BRIDGE] So raise the lights in the dead towns Raise your voice if you still can Raise your kids to love their neighbor More than flags or frightened men And if the night gets darker Than anything we’ve known Remember: every dawn in history Started out alone ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS] The sun hasn’t set yet No, not this land Not while ordinary people Still reach for each other’s hands And even if we lose Everything we thought we knew The sun will rise again someday Maybe not for the empire— But for the truth The sun hasn’t set yet.
