Protest Song

One night after the show a woman came backstage
Burst through the door crying, said we need to do something
I nodded and felt helpless like I often do
How do I put in words the hell we just went through?

I am not a protest song
Don't represent anyone
I don't even know myself
Saviour with a solution
I'll give you my opinion
Even though you never asked

On the drive home that night I looked into my heart
What do I care about, what are the things I love?
The clouds lay low breathing the moon into the sky

What use is a protest song?
Nobody wants to be wrong
People die for an idea
Saviour with a solution
Prophecy of opinion
Truth is just a point of view

Most people are not here and they're not here to know
Spend their lives searching for someone they can go home
Moving to places, changing jobs, and having kids
Nobody never known a self they've never met

What use is a protest song?
Nobody wants to be wrong
People die for an idea
Saviour with a solution
Prophecy of opinion
Truth is just a point of view

What use is a protest song
If not to feel less alone?
Hold my hand and pull me up
Hope is just a discipline
Every day I start again
With my broken heart open

What use is a protest song
If not to feel less alone?
Hold my hand and pull me up
Hope is just a discipline
Every day I start again
With my broken heart open

What use is a protest song
If not to feel less alone?
Hold my hand and pull me up
Hope is just a discipline
Every day I start again
With my broken heart open
