Blaming the past for today

Verse

The house of cards is falling.

Our values tumble down.

Dreamers and rabble rousers

Are setting fire to towns.

Pre chorus

One spark lit a wildfire.

Touched a nation’s soul.

Now it’s burning, burning.

Worlds out of control.

Chorus

I worry about tomorrow.

Wonder what’ll be left to save.

Statues toppling, heads rolling.

Keep blaming the past for today.

Verse

News won’t let off the throttle.

They keep feeding the fire.

Haters’ instigators.

Some are guns for hire.

Pre chorus

One spark lit a wildfire.

Touched a nation’s soul.

Now it’s burning, burning.

Worlds out of control.

Chorus

I worry about tomorrow.

Wonder what’ll be left to save.

Statues toppling, heads rolling.

Keep blaming the past for today.

Bridge

Let’s begin building new bridges.

Get over what separates us.

Let’s build a better tomorrow

That is based of mutual trust.
