Monument

This song is breaking me wide open. So powerful and inspiring!

Aren't you gonna come along?
Aren't you gonna fight?
Aren't you gonna hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness, if you want to hide
Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive

We've got it all worked out, the plans all made
If we believe in the fight then we're all saved
It's gonna hurt for a while but it would anyway
Let us stand resolute with our voices raised
We have a right to insist to be free and brave
If that should cease to exist i'd throw my heart away

So, aren't you gonna come along?
Aren't you gonna fight?
Aren't you gonna hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness, if you want to hide
Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive

It's a long long way to the promised land
So try where you are, do what you can
You belong to what you understand
So teach yourself how to demand the monument that you deserve
For rising up in a beaten down world

Aren't you gonna come along?
Aren't you gonna fight?
Aren't you gonna hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness, if you want to hide
Think about the blood that's pumping keeping you alive
