Protest Song

One night after the show a woman came backstage Burst through the door crying, said we need to do something I nodded and felt helpless like I often do How do I put in words the hell we just went through? I am not a protest song Don't represent anyone I don't even know myself Saviour with a solution I'll give you my opinion Even though you never asked On the drive home that night I looked into my heart What do I care about, what are the things I love? The clouds lay low breathing the moon into the sky What use is a protest song? Nobody wants to be wrong People die for an idea Saviour with a solution Prophecy of opinion Truth is just a point of view Most people are not here and they're not here to know Spend their lives searching for someone they can go home Moving to places, changing jobs, and having kids Nobody never known a self they've never met What use is a protest song? Nobody wants to be wrong People die for an idea Saviour with a solution Prophecy of opinion Truth is just a point of view What use is a protest song If not to feel less alone? Hold my hand and pull me up Hope is just a discipline Every day I start again With my broken heart open What use is a protest song If not to feel less alone? Hold my hand and pull me up Hope is just a discipline Every day I start again With my broken heart open What use is a protest song If not to feel less alone? Hold my hand and pull me up Hope is just a discipline Every day I start again With my broken heart open
