Revolution Summer

revolution summer beating in the heart of me

1985 was just 13 with a heartful of need

all my shame and confusion found a place to hide away

behind all those power chords, blood, sweat, and poetry

revolution summer moments flash undeniable heat

the world had beat the living shit out of me, and I was ready to be free

for once my heart soared about the pain as every song's refrain

called me back home and spoke my name

i'm not hiding anymore. if Love's not enough, then brace for war

we can regain the dreams that once were lost

the fight that burned within us do you remember can you remember

all of the nights we screamed to stand our ground the walls we swore to tear down

do you remember can you remember

the only time we have is now

revolution summer the call grows stronger each day

from survival to purpose like a moth to the flame

so in a world that has given up and left us no choice

these songs of redemption will live on in my voice
