These colors, these lights, these beautiful people walking down roads, carrying loads, places to go These colors, these lights, these beautiful people Sometimes it’s hard to smile and the sun don’t always shine all the time Take a second, strike a pose Like on the runway don’t stand too close Hold tight, almost ready To show what you got, make them lose control It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for don’t be scared, light it up, be comfortable Last chance, no turning back all eyes on you it’s a dream come true These colors, these lights, these beautiful people walking down roads, carrying loads, places to go These colors, these lights, these beautiful people Sometimes it’s hard to smile and the sun don’t always shine all the time All together, stay strong we need each other more than ever before Clean hands, eyes open We’ll find the space to see just how you’re feeling We can make it through this, cuz we have before No fears, no worries, but be careful ’Til next time that we meet again let’s remember the love that we shared today These colors, these lights, these beautiful people walking down roads, carrying loads, places to go These colors, these lights, these beautiful people Sometimes it’s hard to smile and the sun don’t always shine all the time

Slow It Down 03:47
We’ve never seen times like this before It’s taken a toll on the soul of a man Around the globe without prejudice Both rich and poor, black and white all in the fight To make it through these changes To keep away from danger We’ve got a ways to go before we really know Just what is in store Don’t want to take away the freedoms That make a life worth living But if we sacrifice for a little time we could Slow it Down, down down Slow it down (If we sacrifice for a little time we could) Slow it Down, down down Slow it down (If we sacrifice for a little time we could) It’s not a time for selfishness We need empathy for collective security We share the earth, we’re connected Still let’s stay inside, stay protected We’re all in this together, like a ship in stormy weather We’ve got a ways to go before we really know just what is in store In this uncertain future Might have to change just what we’re used to But if we sacrifice for a little time we could Slow it Down, down down Slow it down if we sacrifice for a little time we could) Slow it Down, down down Slow it down (if we sacrifice for a little time we could) Don’t know how much time in this world we have to live So we might as well give as much love as we have to give Slow it down, slow it down Slow it Down, down down Slow it down (if we sacrifice for a little time we could)

I’d seen it before in a scene from a motion picture years ago I’d heard stories of plans to revoke basic freedoms I never thought that it would be something i would see in this lifetime But it’s not hard to believe, cuz it’s easy to deceive all the minds now Feels like the sky’s falling (Wake me up when it’s over) Feels like the sky’s falling (Wash away like the ocean) Unprecedented circumstances raining over The streets are empty and the hearts are full of fear, lost in notion I never thought that it would be something i would see in this lifetime But it’s not hard to believe, cuz it’s easy to deceive all the minds now Feels like the sky’s falling (wake me up when it’s over) Feels like the sky’s falling (wash away like the ocean)

New Normal 03:28
Everybody has a voice Everyone deserves to be here Some get lost and silenced There’s a power in the truth But for some it’s not so clear If we want it, It’s out there Might be hidden from our view Or omitted from the news From now on third eye open First time in our life time The entire human race Has been forced to take heed Where do we go from here? How do we stay alive? It’s getting harder, and harder to survive Feels like the worst is yet to come And the depths are not so clear So it seems the new normal is here It all started long ago In an effort to control The minds of all mankind Great thinkers of the past Have left the earth too fast Just trying to awaken Everywhere people are scrambling Barely living for today Now i wash my hands again It’s a global situation In a melting pot of fear Embrace for the dawning is near Where do we go from here? How do we stay alive? It’s getting harder, and harder to survive Feels like the worst is yet to come And the depths are not so clear So it seems the new normal is here

We’re Inside a fire Trying not to get burned This tricking time gone Now we all await a return Back to the way things used to be Back to a touch we shared freely Could be a long time before we meet Can we remain close distantly I’ve got a feeling things will never be the same again I got a feeling things will never be the same again All of the things we don't really know All of the things that they never show The Futures is mystery All of the things that were going through All of the things that we need to the planned to do The future is Mystery Outside I’m hiding Emotional strain Bring back the moments Traveling far Out of isolation Lonely hearts Could be a long time before we hold Reconnecting while it all unfolds All of the things we don't really know All of the things that they never show The Futures is mystery All of the things that were going through All of the things that we need to the planned to do The future is Mystery

I lay my head down to rest and pray for peace on the earth It’s hard to enter deep sleep, carrying weight of the world in my heart In my heart A lonely tear falls from my eye Oh what a time to be alive No sign of letting go in sight To carry on like everything’s alright We’re gonna need more love to get us through this More than we’ve ever know before And if there’s a chance to make it to the other side We’re gonna need more… Gonna need more love now Someone’s taking their last breathe who never found inner peace Innocent soul lost in the night Maybe they’ll find a little light away from here far away from here What have we done, done to the earth? I know, I know we’ve put man first For what to watch it all fall down A spirit war led by the crown That came without a sound We’re gonna need more love to get us through this More than we’ve ever know before And if there’s a chance to make it to the other side We’re gonna need more… Gonna need more love now
