At a Loss

How am I supposed to write a love song
In between the pages of the news?
I'd gladly sell my soul if it would help make this world whole
But no one's here but me and you
Bankers sold my future to the pawn shop
Washington is run by puppeteers
We scorched the earth with coal and now we're looking for a home
We've got a couple hundred years
I feel so scared, alone, and lost
What can I do? I'm at a loss
Driving past the churches of the market
See the gas price rise before our eyes
Every damn election's just another Super Bowl
And everybody's choosing sides
Everybody's choosing sides
I feel so scared, alone, and lost
What can I do? I'm at a loss
I don't have all the answers yet
I'm simply not that smart
But I believe in charity
And following my heart
Yesterday I saw you on the corner
Giving out some food to do your part
I asked if I could help out and you handed me a spoon
It's certainly a decent start
I feel so scared, alone, and lost
What can I do? I'm at a loss

Here's the Truth

Sometimes people die, they say it's just a fact of life
But if boys don't cry, then what kind of man am I?
I wanna live completely, love more deeply
I wanna live more deeply, love completely
You may laugh at me but I'm not quite sure why
I wear my heart right on my sleeve; I do not lie
Here's the truth:
When I grow up, I want to save the world
Disengage, get off the grid, and look me in the eye
Put aside your irony and open up your mind
I wanna live completely, love more deeply
I wanna live more deeply, love completely
You may laugh at me but I'm not quite sure why
I wear my heart right on my sleeve; I do not lie
Here's the truth:
When I grow up, I want to save the world

Atlas

Here Atlas stands
Greek god in the shape of a man
The world's been in his hands
Ever since our lives began
How do you give thanks to the one
Who keeps the sky above everyone's head?
When you were a child
Your father sat you down for a while
He said, "Son, I'm getting old
Step up here and take the load."
"Sorry Dad - I'm leaving home
Got to find some skies of my own."
When did you stop wandering on your own?
When did you decide to settle down and build a home?
Take a wife and start a family?
And I don't know what it's like
To lose a parent or a wife
But I lose sleep at night
Wondering how I'll hold the sky
How do you replace the one
Who keeps the sky above everyone's head?

Make it Through

I don't believe in God
But that's easier said than done
When all I want is for my sons to grow up in a world free of hate, free of hurt
My human faculties
Seem to have atrophied
I've been working with machines for 20 years and now I'm rusty
It's a messed up world we live in
It's sad but it's true
Sometimes I don't know what to do
But if we hold each other's hands
Let our love shine through
We can carry each other, we can make it through
Feeling lost at sea
Tossed by waves of apathy
I'm building a boat - if you want to get to land, grab a hammer and follow me
Open the news and see
One long obituary
For those who died from a chronic desire to be free
It's a messed up world we live in
It's sad but it's true
Sometimes I don't know what to do
But if we hold each other's hands
Let our love shine through
We can carry each other, we can make it through
Please understand
There isn't a plan
No angels coming from above
The only miracle is love
Give my your hand
I'll give you mine
We can make it through in time
We can make it through the night
It's a messed up world we live in
It's sad but it's true
Sometimes I don't know what to do
But if we hold each other's hands
Let our love shine through
We can carry each other, we can make it through
