about

This song is a little about love, and a little about how we as a people can turn things around. The first step is believing change is possible.

lyrics

There was a time I was asleep
I couldn’t scream; I couldn’t weap
I built a wall into a keep
And then it all came crashing down

I thought I knew just who I was
I called it love, when it was lust
And then it all crumbled to dust
And I was transformed by the turnaround

There was a palace on the hill
And empire built on the steal will
They said the king could not be killed
Until the message came from the underground

The messenger he had no spear,
He stormed the palace without fear
The people all leaned in to hear
When he announced the time of the turnaround

And all those temples built for nothing
They needed you just to stay alive
Ain’t it good to know that saint was good for something?
As she married you
And carried you
Across the other side.

Now judgement day has been entombed
There’s no messiah, there’ll be no doom
Open your heart and make some room
For that sweet freedom that you’ve found

I always knew I heard a voice
I had no clue I had a choice
Now I can’t help it, but rejoice
Thank god allmighty for the turnaround.
