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
