Take a Look Around

take a look around,

are you seeing what i'm seeing?

take a look around,

are you feeling what i'm feeling?

we can't keep turning our eyes from this funeral pyre

we can't deny that our hatred's first spark

has kindled this hellish fire

the skin is peeling, and i don't know if it will ever heal

the way things are as they stand

 

take a look around,

can't you see the sun above us, my friend?

you can't take it for your own

it only means this much

because it is something you can't touch

all you can do

is carry the memory with you

take a look around,

and maybe you can feel what i'm feeling

we're all connected

and no one is alone

though we like to pretend

 

we can't hide from the light forever

we can only stumble in chains for so long

you can deny the tears in your eyes,

but that doesn't mean you aren't crying

you can claim to be dumb

you can say that you're numb

but the fire is roaring

and i know you feel the heat

 

take a look around,

you might be surprised

the daylight hasn't been stolen

you just closed your eyes

take a look around,

and you just might find

there are hands reaching for you

 

it's so precious because you can't take it with you

you have to keep it in your memory

and despite what you might be fearing,

no one is alone

we are never alone
