Lyrics
Verse 1
The radio speaks through the morning haze
Another leader caught in familiar praise
The highway cuts through the heart of the land
People keep waiting with calloused hands
Pre-Chorus
The river remembers what headlines miss
Every broken promise hidden beneath a kiss
The wind moves hard through ancient trees
Carrying questions nobody wants to read
Chorus
Raise your eyes to the burning horizon
See the smoke where the truth has been hiding
Standing right here with hands in the dirt
Trying to measure what the silence is worth
Verse 2
I hear machines grind into the night
Cities glowing under manufactured light
The suits make speeches from guarded floors
Workers keep watch at factory doors
Pre-Chorus
Every town has a story carved into stone
Every single voice wants to feel home
The wheel keeps turning the clock won't wait
History is written by choices we make
Chorus
Raise your eyes to the burning horizon
See the smoke where the truth has been hiding
Standing right here with hands in the dirt
Trying to measure what the silence is worth
Drop
Dirt and bone
Land we own
Bridge
No kings
No prophets
No miracle cure
Ordinary souls just trying to endure
Land keeps speaking beneath our feet
Older than the streets
Chorus
Raise your eyes to the burning horizon
Hear the voices that never stopped rising
Standing right here with hands in the dirt
Outro
Under the sky where the lines have been drawn
Old wounds healing but the questions go on
Echoes of thunder miles away
Still we gather at the break of day
Footsteps linger on water-stained ground
Finding hope where the lost are found
And if silence falls once the fires burn down
We’ll be the voices carrying sound
Drop
Carrying sound
Carrying sound
Raise your eyes to the burning horizon
Blaze a path this struggle is ours
We’re standing here with hands in the dirt
Turning the silence into power
Drop
Into power
Into power
