A New Face

It rains the same cold water on everyone

Can I borrow your umbrella while you stay inside, dry

We all scrape our knees on the same ground, at some point

Why would you stand there as I continue to bleed

 

Put a new face on this world

And I’ll have faith in this world

Right now I don’t know if I can live here anymore

Put a new face on this world

Maybe you’d have some faith in this world

But you stand there waiting for change to happen

Just try not to be seen hoping it does

 

I saw you look me up and down

Are you gonna guess who I am now

You couldn’t recognize me from three feet away

But you’d lay me to sleep because of your ideas of me

 

Put a new face on this world

And I’ll have faith in this world

Right now I don’t know if I can live here anymore

Put a new face on this world

Maybe you’d have some faith in this world

But you stand there waiting for change to happen

Just try not to be seen hoping it does

 

If I can make it better, I’ll try, I’ll try my hardest

If I can change it for them, I’ll try, I’ll try my hardest

It shouldn’t be so hard to survive

I shouldn’t be so hard to survive

 

Put a new face on this world

And I’ll have faith in this world

Right now I don’t know if I can live here anymore

Put a new face on this world

Maybe you’d have some faith in this world

But you stand there waiting for change to happen

Just try not to be seen hoping it does

C’mon tell me you hope that it does

C’mon tell me you hope that it does
