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 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 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
