Give Love A Try (Demo)

[Verse 1]
Hear the sirens crying as they're passing by
Red & blue light flashing in our eyes
In these streets we're fighting for yet another human life
Destroyed, demeaned, devalued, dehumanized

[Pre-Chorus]
With all the signs around
Don't look the other way

[Chorus]
I'm used to hiding out in my hometown
Just listening to your words
But I'm tired of every step we take back
When we think we're moving forwards
The problems we don't recognize
Til they're right here in black & white
We may never truly understand
But the least we can do is try

[Verse 2]
The stories of who stood up
We heard them all as kids
Told they made a difference
Times had changed because they did
But I hear the words of Dylan back in 1963
Wouldn't you think by now it'd all be history?

[Chorus]
So if you're hiding out in your hometown
Just listening to these words
Aren't you tired of every step we take back
We're just trying to be heard
The problems we don't recognize
Til they're right here in black & white
We may never truly understand
But the least we can do is try
Oh, try

[Outro]
With all the signs around
Don't look the other way
The truth is we're all earthbound
We're all just human, right?
So why don't we all just give love a try?
