Story Behind The Song
Meant to be uplifting and thought-provoking, I felt sad one day about a post-apocalyptic world and how our children would grow up in it
Song Description
Still demanding to be heard; that's what the theme is; set in an imaginary time when war and consumption has ruined the earth, people are demanding to know what went wrong; The Good offers sanctuary and freedom from oppression and all world evils

Lyrics
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin - oh yeah
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin
How far must I travel before the rain stops fallin red
and the lies I must unravel
and follow where it's safe to tread
A future for our children, without a single shred of doubt
It's the present that we're building and the past we're throwing out
We've had a hundred years of hope, with nothing new to show
It's time we found a lease of life, show us the way to go
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin
What happened to the sky and the future that we planned
And the twinkle in your eye and why the ocean turned to sand
I wanna know the rules of this game and how come no one understood, the reason for our pain, when it happened like they said it would
We've had a hundred years of hope with nothing new to show
It's time we found a lease of life show us the way to go
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin
Now, we can see, what it means to be free, yeah
Here we can find, piece of mind in our lives
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin
It doesn't take what I believe to make a difference you can see
I'm still standing - still demandin
