2. STATE OF THE UNION (5:48)
 
Heading toward the sun, the bullet from a gun
Suck the nectar from, the fruit until its gone
People all around, the answers tightly bound
Yearning to be found, but no one hears a sound

Chorus:
Why should it be so hard to live?
The gifts can be so hard to give,
Feelings  kept deep underground
The silence safe to serve the sound
Temptations lost to order gained
Will no one re-ignite the flame
The State of Our Union needs to change
May none of us remain the same
 
Standing in the way, lost within the fray
My demons kept at bay, right or wrong who is to say.
Up against the wall, afraid to take the fall,
Hear the people call, solutions start small

[Chorus]
 
Pumping through the vein, pounding of the rain
Wilderness untamed, never quit the game
Our nation’s filled with fear, and mother sheds a tear
The time is drawing near, we will find a cure!

[Chorus]
