[Verse 1]
Walking down the sidewalk, day after the storm,
I found a little bird, wings broken, torn.
I wondered if it had a home, a place to be,
A family left waiting, still hoping it’s free.

[Chorus]
And I think of the world, so split, so cold,
Where lives are lost, our story’s untold.
Families torn, like feathers in the rain,
In a land divided, hearts full of pain.

[Bridge]
The toll
(Of the flight of a soul)
Now on the rise
(To realize)
Fly above
(To the love)

[Verse 2]
If the bird’s soul could speak, what would it say?
Would it warn of the times, of the price we’ll pay?
In a country so divided, so full of fear,
Who’s left to sing when no one’s here?

[Chorus]
And I think of the world, so split, so cold,
Where lives are lost, and stories go untold.
Families torn, like feathers in the rain,
In a land divided, hearts full of pain.

[Bridge]
The toll
(Of the flight of a soul)
Now on the rise
(To realize)
Fly above
(To the love)

[Outro]
How remote
Is your vote?

ABOUT THE SONG
A collaboration between Jack Brouse and Daniel Brouse about the 2024 election. The day after the election, I was walking to school when I came across a dead bird lying in the middle of the sidewalk. I started to wonder if it had a family. If it did, do they know it’s gone? Or did the world just take it away, leaving them still searching for this lost soul? Then I thought about the state of the country now, and how it might change under Trump. More families may be torn apart, and lives could be lost in this divided America. Inspired by these thoughts, I wrote a riff and may even write lyrics for it.

[Intro]
You’ve ended the debate
On hate

[Verse 1]
Do you realize
The drastic rise
Did you anticipate
The rising rate

[Chorus]
You’ve ended the debate
(On hate)
The American Dream
(Gone up in steam)

[Bridge]
[Instrumental, Bass Solo]
Painted our scene
So dark and black
Did you really mean
There’s no turning back

[Verse 2]
Are you aware
Of the ill-will there
Did it become clear
The fear’s growing here

[Chorus]
You’ve ended the debate
(On hate)
The American Dream
(Gone up in steam)

[Bridge]
Painted our scene
So dark and black
Did you really mean
There’s no turning back

[Chorus]
You’ve ended the debate
(On hate)
The American Dream
(Gone up in steam)

[Bridge]
Painted our scene
So dark and black
Did you really mean
There’s no turning back

[Outro]
Bring compassion
Back in fashion

[Intro]
Star light, star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Never need to wish things right

[Verse 1]
Do I desire
To climb higher
Is my passion
Out of fashion

[Chorus]
First star
(There you are)
First star
(Take us far)

[Bridge]
Star light, star bright
(See us through the night)
Star light, star bright
(Help set things right)

[Verse 2]
Is it want or need
Can our greed recede
Is our passion
Out of fashion

[Chorus]
First star
(There you are)
First star
(Take us far)

[Bridge]
Star light, star bright
(See us through the night)
Star light, star bright
(Help set things right)

[Outro]
Star light, star bright
May the night go right

[Intro]
Do you march (and march on)
March on wit’s end
Suspend belief in relief
(And, on and on)

[Verse 1]
How long can this go on
(And, on and on)
You playing a pawn
(Same ole song)

[Chorus]
Do you march (and march on)
March on wit’s end
Suspend belief in relief
(And, on and on)

[Bridge]
The seat (by the edge)
Defeat (on the verge)
Come round (come down)
Love’s found (all around)
Round and round
(And, on and on)

[Verse 2]
How long will this go on
(Not for very long?)
All that’s gone wrong
(Piles upon)

[Chorus]
Do you march (and march on)
March on wit’s end
Suspend belief in relief
(And, on and on)

[Bridge]
The seat (by the edge)
Defeat (on the verge)
Come round (come down)
Love’s found (all around)
Round and round
(And, on and on)

[Outro]
Love’s found (all around)
Round and round
(And, on and on)

[Intro]
[Instrumental, Synth Solo]
There are risks and costs (to action.)
But they are far less (than the long-range risks0
Of comfortable inaction.

[Verse 1]
Comfortably numb
(Or comfortably dumb)
Gonna get lost
In the short-range cost

[Bridge]
There’s this, that (where we’re at)
And the other thing (what you bring)
What would you say…
(Is up with your vertebrae)

[Chorus]
Action toward solution
(Avoid devolution)
Inaction reduction
(Movement meant)

[Verse 2]
Comfortably dumb
(And then sum)
Got lost
In one’s cost

[Chorus]
Action toward solution
(Avoid devolution)
Inaction reduction
(Movement meant)

[Bridge]
There’s this, that
(And the other thing)
Mostly primate slacking (on the climate)
What would you say
(Is up with the vertebrae)

[Chorus]
Action toward solution
(Avoid devolution)
Inaction reduction
(Movement meant)

[Outro]
Movement (movement)
Movement (movement)

ABOUT THE SONG
The quote comes from President John F. Kennedy, “There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.” This statement reflects Kennedy’s call to take decisive action rather than staying passive, even in the face of challenges. It’s often cited in discussions about leadership, courage, and the importance of proactive efforts in facing societal issues. Kennedy’s message underscores that avoiding action due to perceived obstacles ultimately incurs greater costs, especially in terms of missed opportunities for progress and problem-solving.
