They talk about a better place, I haven’t seen it yet
They say we’ve got it all, but all I feel is debt
They pass around their empty words
While we’re still fighting just to be heard
They tell me it’s the land of hope
But every day feels like a tighter rope
I see the homeless on the street
And they’re calling this freedom, but it feels incomplete
This free life, don’t feel so free
They say it’s ours, but not for me
Promises high, reality low
Where’s the truth? Nobody knows
I hear the protests down the block, marching for a change
The world’s on fire, but they look away like it’s strange
They give us promises wrapped in fear
Then close the door and disappear
We talk about the climate, the air we breathe
But they’re drilling holes for what they need
How long until we all just drown?
Will anyone care when we’re sinking down?
This free life, don’t feel so free
They say it’s ours, but not for me
Promises high, reality low
Where’s the truth? Nobody knows
I hear the protests down the block, marching for a change
The world’s on fire, but they look away like it’s strange
They give us promises wrapped in fear
Then close the door and disappear
We talk about the climate, the air we breathe
But they’re drilling holes for what they need
How long until we all just drown?
Will anyone care when we’re sinking down?
This free life, don’t feel so free
They say it’s ours, but not for me
Promises high, reality low
Where’s the truth? Nobody knows
I’ll light a candle, and watch it burn
Hoping someday the tide will turn
In this free life, we’re searching for more
Maybe one day we’ll unlock the door
Maybe one day we’ll unlock the door
We’re all caught up in this broken dream
Waiting for someone to intervene
In this free life, we’re searching for more
Maybe one day we’ll unlock the door
