Staring At The Sun Lyrics - Singles - Brett Perkins

I see so many people 

As I walk these cities and these towns 

Some souls truly shining 

Some worn down to the ground 

And I see people chasing dreams 

Some chasing dollars 'til they drown 

Seems the more they have 

Then the more they need 

And the more they'll fight to hold it down 

Staring at the sun, staring at the sun 

We're staring at the sun 

So I read the papers, watched the tv 

For the heroes we all fall about 

Most like children on a playground 

Only noticed by how loud they scream and shout 

But how we love our heroes 

Almost as much as we like to tear them down 

For they are all that we are not 

And we are not to be let down 

Staring at the sun, staring at the sun 

We're staring at the sun 

And do you see the storm that's coming? 

Do you think that it's too late? 

Are you blinded by your love? 

Or by your ignorance and hate? 

And do you think you're the only one? 

The only one who's ever felt the call of fate? 

And felt your life had just begun? 

While you were staring at the sun 

And as a child, I heard Martin Luther 

Call to the people "Now let freedom ring!" 

But they shot him down 

For the change his love would bring 

And so I asked myself, so I asked myself 

Who would do these hateful things? 

And in the end I found, in the end I found 

That they are you and me 

And do you see the storm that's coming? 

Do you think that it's too late? 

Are you blinded by your love? 

Or by your ignorance and hate? 

And do you think you're the only one? 

The only one who's ever thought to hesistate? 

And felt your life had come undone? 

While you were staring at the sun 

Staring at the sun, staring at the sun 

We're staring at the sun
