Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Acoustic

guitar

strumming,

rhythmic

hand

claps)

Yeah,

yeah

Listen

to

the

wind

blowing

through

the

old

town

We

reflect

on

the

days

gone

by

Let’

s

speak

the

truth

in

the

light

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

We

kept

the

faith

in

the

heat

of

the

day

Watching

the

shadows

as

you

slipped

away

You

promised

us

gold

in

the

morning

light

But

left

us

reaching

in

the

dead

of

the

night

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Talked

like

thunder,

worked

like

a

shower

Empty

pockets,

broken

stone

Left

the

village

to

stand

all

alone

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Lost

the

vision

in

your

final

hour

Empty

pockets,

broken

stone

Left

the

people

to

reap

what

you’

d

sown

You

sat

in

the

office

behind

the

thick

glass

While

we

watched

the

seasons

quietly

pass

The

infrastructure

crumbled

under

the

weight

Of

promises

made

at

the

garden

gate

It

wasn't

the

burden,

it

wasn't

the

cost

It

was

the

connection

that

you

completely

lost

You

looked

at

the

maps

but

you

never

saw

us

Caught

in

the

cycle,

left

in

the

fuss

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Talked

like

thunder,

worked

like

a

shower

Empty

pockets,

broken

stone

Left

the

village

to

stand

all

alone

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Lost

the

vision

in

your

final

hour

Empty

pockets,

broken

stone

Left

the

people

to

reap

what

you’

d

sown

Can

you

hear

the

hum

of

the

tired

crowd?

The

silence

of

history

speaking

so

loud

It’

s

not

about

vengeance,

it’

s

not

about

blame

It’

s

about

looking

at

the

state

of

the

frame

We

are

the

builders,

we

are

the

soul

Waiting

for

leaders

to

make

us

whole

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Talked

like

thunder,

worked

like

a

shower

Empty

pockets,

broken

stone

Left

the

village

to

stand

all

alone

Oh,

you

failed

when

you

were

in

power

Lost

the

vision

in

your

final

hour

Empty

pockets,

broken

stone

Left

the

people

to

reap

what

you’

d

sown

Yeah,

you

had

the

chair,

you

had

the

pen

But

the

story

ends

where

it

should

have

begun

Dusty

roads,

quiet

lives

Learning

to

thrive,

learning

to

survive (

Guitar

fades

out

with

rhythmic

claps)

We

move

on.
