Ryan Harvey Lyrics
"Give It Time"

The leaves are changing colors, falling down
The air is thick with memories, taking people back
While the news is fresh with blood-stained headlines
The U.S. troops just launched a new offensive in Iraq
Some sensors are talking about the border
Plotting the plans for a 2,000 mile wall
Developers are scheming in New Orleans
Wondering how they can turn some profits from it all
And it's such a sad time to be living
Though everytime before seems just as sad as this
It reminds me to be positive and constant
To fight not just for what does but for what could exist

Be creative.

There's always gonna be someone planning wars for profit
The ideal society is one that can refuse
And though there's power in the the gun and in the bullet
There's more power in the hands of those who build the things we use
And the power held by greed is based on trust
As you can only be as powerful as people let you be
And the world that they create is always shifting
Cuz there's only so many tricks that you can cram into one sleeve
Yeah it's such a sensitive situation
And everything is fragile, and we're always on the brink
It seems to me it's all held up by weak strings
And it seems to me we're closer than we think

Remember that.

Every war's been met by opposition
And every culture based on greed has suffered from the same
Our history is littered with destruction
But we hold our heads up high for those who fought before we came
We're following the steps of many people
And no one knows just how long it'll take
And it's a long, long road that we are walking
And we are building it together, with every move we make
And we know that every end's a new beginning
And we keep on for the hope there'll be some answers we will find
And it's sad and it is strange, but it's relieving
Because it's better than just sitting back and watching worlds collide

Just give it time.
