Story Behind The Song

Some of the lyrics came to me in a dream and have evolved over he past three years or so I wanted to write a song that had something to say, in a very positive way.

Song Description

It started with me liking the Emin/D/C/ chord progression and I put a rap to it then it all changed when i came up with a new melody for the verse. The lyrics are inspired by social/political change and the need to respect Mother Earth

Lyrics

ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE WAITED FOR THE SUNS RAY
A LIGHT INSIDE LIFE TO TAKE ME ON MY WAY
I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN THIS DAY
AND EVERY BREATH I TAKE I GIVE AWAY
WE GOTTA TAKE THE BLAME
AND COVER OURSELVES IN THE SAND
NO MORE TO DESIRE
WE WALK ON THIS EARTH
JUST LIKE THE FIRST STAGE OF MAN
SO MUCH TO AQUIRE
WE'VE BEEN LOOSING TIME
RUNNING AWAY FROM THIS LAND
COVERING FIRE
IF WERE GONNA LAST
WE GOTTA MAKE UP A PLAN
INFLUENCE AND INSPIRE

HOW LONG BEFORE IT'S ALL TOO LATE
WHAT TIME IS THE DAY
WE GOTTA SHARE ALL THAT WERE TAKING

OR BETTER, GIVE IT AWAY
YOU WANT A RAINBOW TO SHINE
YOU GOTTA MAKE SUN AND RAIN
NATURES EMPIRE
WE COME FROM THIS EARTH
WERE ALL GONNA GO THERE AGAIN
LIKE A MOTH TO THE FIRE

WE LIKE TO THINK THAT WERE ALL GIANTS
BIGGER THAN A SKY
BUT WE GOTTA COME BACK TO OURSELVES
BEFORE WE LEARN HOW TO FLY

ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE WAITED FOR THE SUNS RAY
A LIGHT INSIDE LIFE TO TAKE ME ON MY WAY
I DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN THIS DAY
AND EVERY BREATH I TAKE I GIVE AWAY
BASS OPEN A OCTAVE C5TH D5TH I'M GONNA TAKE THE TIME
TO COVER MY SELF WITH THE SAND
WHAT A GOOD DAY
ONE WORLD SAVED
I'M OFF TO GET HIGHER AND HIGHER
WE'LL MAKE BRAVE
FILL THE WHOLE PAGE
WE GOTTA TAKE THE BLAME
AND COVER OURSELVES IN THE SAND
NO MORE TO DESIRE
WE WALK ON THIS EARTH
JUST LIKE THE FIRST STAGE OF MAN
SO MUCH TO AQUIRE
WE'VE BEEN LOOSING TIME
RUNNING AWAY FROM THIS LAND
COVERING FIRE
IF WERE GONNA LAST
WE GOTTA MAKE UP A PLAN
