Inverse - Spark My Soul lyrics

[Verse 1: Toby] Walking through the April showers Through the broken gla** and the changing flowers It seems like the rain is pounding harder When those who have no way to get out of it But every face in the crowd Has burdens that chase and been weighing them down Tryin' to find their place and how to stay safe When that place just ain't been allowed The uncertainty, anger and doubt Are the violence that makes it unsafe in their town Some deal with the pain that devours Those that don't stay that straight for power The only thing that stays the same is change But we too afraid to break from now Our parents had their day But now it's our kids that we need to be making proud [Hook] Soul Let the music be the fuse that will spark my soul Let the music be the fuse that will spark my soul Let the music be the fuse that will spark my soul My soul, my soul, my soul, my soul...
