Brett Perkins - Staring At The Sun lyrics

I see so many people As I walk these cities and these towns Some souls truly shining Some worn down to the ground And I see people chasing dreams Some chasing dollars 'til they drown Seems the more they have Then the more they need And the more they'll fight to hold it down Staring at the sun, staring at the sun We're staring at the sun So I read the papers, watched the tv For the heroes we all fall about Most like children on a playground Only noticed by how loud they scream and shout But how we love our heroes Almost as much as we like to tear them down For they are all that we are not And we are not to be let down Staring at the sun, staring at the sun We're staring at the sun And do you see the storm that's coming? Do you think that it's too late? Are you blinded by your love? Or by your ignorance and hate? And do you think you're the only one? The only one who's ever felt the call of fate? And felt your life had just begun? While you were staring at the sun And as a child, I heard Martin Luther Call to the people "Now let freedom ring!" But they shot him down For the change his love would bring And so I asked myself, so I asked myself Who would do these hateful things? And in the end I found, in the end I found That they are you and me And do you see the storm that's coming? Do you think that it's too late? Are you blinded by your love? Or by your ignorance and hate? And do you think you're the only one? The only one who's ever thought to hesistate? And felt your life had come undone? While you were staring at the sun Staring at the sun, staring at the sun We're staring at the sun
