False Gods

Can we believe 
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up

Why must this be the fuel to the fire?
Why does it take a life?
A tragic blessing in disguise
Because it brought to light
The need to define wrong and right

Now we see you, we hear you
Now we want to believe

So much power in the masses
A united voice cannot be ignored 
Let the hope for a new way guide us on
When we stand as one they can't unring the bell we rung

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now's the time for speaking

Are they listening?

Do you not see the fundamental flaw?
Protectors of the people one and all
Playing false gods and smiting with resentment
On those they swore to protect

We're all human beings
We're all made of blood and bone
Who are we, how dare we judge on tone
And not the actions of heart and home?

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now's the time for speaking

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now we need you screaming

Can we believe?
A better day
A better day

It's about time, I'm ready
For our kind to evolve
And look deeper than the surface 
To the heart and the home 

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Now's the time for speaking

Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
Stand up, speak up
For what you wanna say
Can we believe
There'll be a better day?
No time for silence
Listen to us screaming

Listen to us now
