I n our youthful condemnation the truth speaks for itself
T hat in an hour of darkness S omeone cried for help
So he told a simple story of innocents and lies
H ow the truth became so twisted i n a single judges eyes.
O ur brave new rainbow n ation was floating on the t ide
in a sea of expect ation and a hard won sense of p ride
but the wave of solida rity that swept across our l and
was broken on the rocks left l ifeless on the sand
It all seemed very simple let the guilty
take the blame we can sing our song of
and put them all to shame.
Shine a light into the darkness let them hear
his name but the we tried to change things
the more they stayed the same.
O ur brave new rainbow n ation was floating on the t ide
in a sea of expect ation and a hard won sense of p ride
but the wave of solida rity that swept across our l and
was broken on the rocks left l ifeless on the sand
And no one else but Tyler knows exactly
what this means He's a man thats dissapearing
ceasing to exist and the only contribution
that he has left to give is the simple
story of a life he's never lived
O ur brave new rainbow n ation was floating on the t ide
in a sea of expect ation and a hard won sense of p ride
but the wave of solida rity that swept across our l and
was broken on the rocks left l ifeless on the sand
