Текст песни Let It Be Me

Sticks and stones battle zones a single light bulb on a single
thread for the black sirens wail history fails rose-colored glass
begins to age and crack while the politicians shadowbox the power
ring in an endless split decision never solve anything from a
neighbor's distant land i heard the strain of the common man
let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it be me (not
a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is night shine
my life like a light well the world seems spent and the president
has no good idea of who the masses are well i'm one of them and
i'm among friends trying to see beyond the fences of our own
backyard i've seen kingdoms blow like ashes in the winds of change
but the power of truth is the fuel for the flame so the darker
the ages get there's a stronger beacon yet let it be me (this
is not a fighting song) let it be me (not a wrong for a wrong)
let it be me, if the world is night shine my life like a light
in the kind word you speak in the turn of the cheek when your
vision
stays clear in the face of your fear then you see turning off
a light switch is their only power when we stand like spotlights
in a mighty tower all for one and one for all then we sing the
common call let it be me (this is not a fighting song) let it
be me (not a wrong for a wrong) let it be me, if the world is
night shine my life like a light
