The Story We’re Sold
What if true human nature was more than endless fights?
More than what’s written on our subway walls?
More than telling a vision to chase a ring of brass?
Follow a halo to redeem our fall?
Deeper we’ve slipped from the painful truth
It’s gonna burn to open our eyes
The Story We’re Sold
Ain’t worth the price we have to pay
The story we’re told
Comfortable lies so we won’t wake
Can we be bold?
Stand up and speak a brand new day?
The story we’re sold
Ain’t worth the price we pay
Maybe the memo came so long ago
The memory of you faded grey
A wilderness of voices turned landscape by design
How can you make space, shape your own clay?
Deeper you fall into your own truth
Feel the fire burning inside
The Story We’re Sold
Ain’t worth the price we have to pay
The story we’re told
Comfortable lies so we won’t wake
Can we be bold?
Stand up and speak a brand new day?
The story we’re sold
Ain’t worth the price we pay
Can you open your eyes and see
The truth of our harmony?
Can you open your mind and choose
To be your own point of view?
Can you open your heart and say
We’re gonna live a brand new day?
Can you drop the story we’re sold?
Can you stand? Can you be bold?
The Story We’re Sold
Ain’t worth the price we have to pay
The story we’re told
Comfortable lies so we won’t wake
Can we be bold?
Stand up and speak a brand new day?
The story we’re sold
Ain’t worth the price we pay
