Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Acoustic

guitar

strumming,

rhythmic

hand

claps) (

Community

chorus

humming

melody)

Yeah,

yeah.

We

remember

the

road.

We

remember

the

promises.

Listen

now.

You

had

the

chair

and

you

had

the

pen

You

had

five

winters,

you

had

five

rains

We

gave

you

our

trust

on

a

dusty

road

But

the

well

ran

dry

and

the

bus

never

showed

The

maps

were

drawn

with

a

silver

ink

But

we

pushed

the

cart

to

the

canyon

brink

You

sat

in

the

cool

while

the

sun

beat

down

On

every

worker

in

this

broken

town

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Talked

like

thunder,

worked

like

a

shower

Empty

pockets,

broken

light

Left

the

promise

in

the

middle

of

the

night

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Found

no

fruit

in

the

final

hour

Empty

pockets,

broken

light

You

walked

away

and

you

dimmed

the

sight

The

brick

and

mortar

were

meant

to

rise

But

they

stayed

as

ghosts

in

the

morning

skies

You

spoke

of

iron

and

you

spoke

of

steel

But

the

rust

grew

thick

on

the

common

wheel

We

held

our

breath

for

the

school

to

bloom

But

the

silence

filled

up

every

room

You

had

the

mandate,

you

had

the

vote

But

the

ship

sank

down

while

you

grabbed

the

boat

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Talked

like

thunder,

worked

like

a

shower

Empty

pockets,

broken

light

Left

the

promise

in

the

middle

of

the

night

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Found

no

fruit

in

the

final

hour

Empty

pockets,

broken

light

You

walked

away

and

you

dimmed

the

sight

It’

s

not

in

the

shouting,

it’

s

not

in

the

pride

It’

s

in

the

shadows

where

the

records

hide

We

see

the

ledger,

we

see

the

debt

We

see

the

things

that

you

would

fain

forget

But

time

is

a

river

that

flows

to

the

sea

And

it

carries

the

truth

to

the

likes

of

me

So

keep

your

speeches

and

your

faded

charms

We’

ve

moved

on

now

with

our

own

two

arms

The

lessons

learned

in

the

dusty

heat

Are

the

ones

that

keep

us

on

our

own

two

feet

You

had

your

season,

you

had

your

day

Now

watch

the

harvest

as

we

turn

away

The

chair

is

empty,

the

pen

is

dry

And

we

don’

t

look

back

as

we

pass

you

by

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Talked

like

thunder,

worked

like

a

shower

Empty

pockets,

broken

light

Left

the

promise

in

the

middle

of

the

night

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Found

no

fruit

in

the

final

hour

Empty

pockets,

broken

light

You

walked

away

and

you

dimmed

the

sight (

Acoustic

guitar

fading)

Yeah,

we

remember.

We

keep

the

light

now.

We

walk

forward. (

Hand

claps

slow

down)

It’

s

over

now. (

Final

chord

rings

out)
