lyrics

It was early when I heard the news
They said something about our will to choose
And I heard voices coming down the hall
Saying they couldn’t believe it all

But when you figure out what it was all about
Yeah, your heart surely would break
Because you live your life by the way you were raised
but doubt it took you further away 
Taking a stand on the global stage
Violent action’s got us all afraid
Fear of God, death, or the plague
Making sure none of us feel safe 
Cause when I figured out what it was all about
My heart surely did break
Because I lived my life by the way i was raise
But doubt it took me further away

I want to feel proud
I want those feelings of Home to be one that I own
With doors wide open and a trusting tone
In your voice when you speak and you’re telling us all
About Liberty and Freedom
I want to feel proud to call this Home 
When you figure out what it was all about
Yeah, your heart surely would break 
I want to feel proud
Feeling so detached these days
From hearing what the candidates say
And I can’t go my separate ways
Cause I am still in love
With the ideas
And the people that fight like hell to make them real
And the thought that things can changes
And I hope things can change
