lirik lagu derek webb - this may be the time to close your eyes
headlines scream and voices fly like sling and stone
the hate they wield, a sharpened knife
it cuts the hope
they twist the truth, they spread the fear to hide the lie
when the world feels dark and the path unclear
you realize
child, this may be the time to close your eyes
imagination banned for all the books you’ve read
they misdirect with triggеr words
and bullet breath
the nеws reports a broken song of rights denied
they build their walls around your heart
in crooked lines
child, this may be the time to close your eyes
the preachers rage, the pundits sneer, a war of words
they twist religion, make it hate
they lock the doors
their moral high ground planted flags, their martyr’s cries
they judge and scorn and fail to see
the rainbow skies
child, this may be the time to close your eyes
but listen softly for the sound, the burning fuse
igniting painters, activists
prophets bringing news
of families, stories, hearts and minds opening wide
the hopes of all the painted bruises
realized
of all god’s children’s thriving lives
may this be the day
of husbands, husbands, wives and wives
may this be the day
when beauty’s beauty and love is love
may this be the day
thank god you’re safe and you’re enough
may this be the day
when all the faceless hear their names
let this be the night
when all the shapeless rest in frames
let this be the night
when all the tears are wiped away
let this be the night
when all true justice falls like rain
let this be the night
oh child, this may be the time, open up your eyes
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
open up your eyes
