02. The Truth

Quiet Vol. 1 - EP
by Swingin Hammers

Lyrics:

Verse 1
We give we value to the few
Never mind the many
Undermine the truth
Of life

Dollars are for you
While we take away their pennies
We take drugs to help us sleep
At night

Pre-Chorus
But I’m tired of playing games
Tired of taking chances
With the blood that’s in my veins
I think I’m jumping fences

Chorus
If I say an unborn child deserves to live
You’ll say I’m senseless
If I say the refugee deserves to stay
You’ll call me a fool
If I call you out like this
You’ll only hate me more
But it only takes two eyes to see the truth

Verse 2
Lord who is my neighbor
The man asked Christ the King
I think he knew the answer
And so do you

Can’t you see their hearts
Can’t you see their heartbeat
Their value does not hang on
Your view

Pre-Chorus
I’m so tired of playing games
Tired of taking chances
With the blood that’s in their veins
I think I’m jumping fences

Chorus
If I say an unborn child deserves to live
You’ll say I’m senseless
If I say the refugee deserves to stay
You’ll call me a fool
But I cannot sit and tell you that
Everything is fine
It only takes a spine to tell the truth

If I say that your child deserves to live
You’ll say I’m just Christian
If I say the refugees just need some help
You’ll say I’m not right
But the house is burning down
And there’s only one way to quench it
Love your neighbor as yourself
I cannot help but tell the truth
Though you give me hell
I’ll tell the truth
