Lyrics
Breathe easy the man said to the boy on the ground
I’ve seen this happen many times before
If we just wait we don’t stand a chance they don’t care
Blackwater rising everywhere
Shifting sands keep moving around
Gimme your hand I will pull you to solid ground
the animals try and swim the got that desperate look in their eyes
And the steady beat of the rain coming down again
We pray that help gets here before it gets really bad
Already people turning on one another
Shifting sands keep moving around
Gimme your hand I will pull you up to solid ground
And at the church where the jesus saves signs blinks on and off
A false light givijng false hope, a false dawn to the flock
The strong kick the weak, its on the net, its on repeat
Stack the bodies, count the money, we are on the up,
All we have is each other, take that and we are gone
Together we can change everything
Well it would be wrong is not to learn the lessons
Where the blame lies, what this means, and why don’t we do anything
Shifting sands keep moving around
Gimme your hand I will pull you up to solid ground
