My country's burning

We’re drying out
While others drown
We’re burning, burning, burning
And they’re freezing
We’ve tipped the scales
Is it too late?
I watch us fail

I cannot see
Through the tears
As I drive
And it’s all wrong
Against traffic and common sense
I seek a way to get home

My country’s burning
Smoke is rising
You can see it rise from miles away
Driving by the flames I pray I pray
I pray for rain
I pray for sanctuary
I pray for rain
I pray for rain

Meltdown
It feels like doom's day
Only I’m still here
And the ashes do not rise
They stay grey
They stay dead

My country's burning….

Helpless we stand
And watch it all burn
I understand
It’s time for change
But it won’t go away
If you look the other way

My country’s burning
Smoke is rising
You can see it rise from miles away
Driving by the flames I pray I pray
I pray for rain
I pray for sanctuary
I pray for rain
I pray for rain

And if we dance
Will the skies open?
I pray for rain
I pray for rain
