Song Lyrics

Hiding under sheets with the news on repeat
'Cause the screams and cries are hard to delete
While I'm trying to sleep, oh how could I sleep?
Laying in bed, trying to empty my head
All these acts of violence ripping this world to shreds
While I'm trying to sleep, oh how could I sleep?

Eyes don't deserve to see life in color
Until we stop taking the lives of our brothers
Oh, fall back asleep, oh how could I sleep?
Bombs being dropped, innocent lives are shot
Capable to shift my brain to think happy thoughts
While I'm trying to sleep, oh how could I sleep?

Wish there were words to say to make a change
Oh, the words to sing to end this suffering

Let's start a revolution where we all stand as one
'Cause we need to make a change for a new day
We need to be the generation that'll awaken a solution
'Cause we need to make a change
Make a change, make a change for a new day

Detached from these terrors we watch from afar
Sending prayers and wishes upon empty stars
While I'm trying to sleep, oh how could I sleep?
This guilt is a twisted privilege to have
Makes me thankful my strife is just a fucked up dad
As I fall back asleep, oh how could I sleep?

Wish there were words to say to make a change
Oh, the words to sing to end this suffering
Wish there were words to say to make a change
Oh, the words to sing to end this suffering

Let's start a revolution where we all stand as one
'Cause we need to make a change for a new day
We need to be the generation that'll awaken a solution
'Cause we need to make a change
Make a change, make a change for a new day

Wish there were words to say to make a change
'Cause, oh, we need to change

Let's start a revolution where we all stand as one
'Cause we need to make a change for a new day
We need to be the generation that'll awaken a solution
'Cause we need to make a change
Make a change, make a change for a new day

Let's start a revolution where we all stand as one
'Cause we need to make a change for a new day
We need to be the generation that'll awaken a solution
'Cause we need to make a change
Make a change, make a change for a new day
