lyrics

Burn it Down Blanton/Stachela/Bernal

The wind’s blowing high in the trees
The moonlight shining on me
All in all it’s such a peaceful scene
But they can take it away.
There’s a man, crying “let me out”
Another child’s gotta go without
When you speak, do your lips make a sound?
What is it that makes you afraid?

If a man can be fed with a loaf and a fish
Ain’t no reason why I won’t be getting my wish
I want peace, I want freedom
The right to be me
But most of all… I just wanna believe.
HEY! Oh, I just wanna believe…

For those who will take back their rights
To you who thought, your hands were tied
Step out your chains, and into the light
The door is open wide.

If a man can be fed with a loaf and a fish
Ain’t no reason why I won’t be getting my wish
I want peace, I want freedom
The right to be me
But most of all… I just wanna believe.
Oh, I just wanna believe… yeah.
When the man tries to build up a wall… burn it down
To keep us away from us all... burn it down
He’s high now, but soon he will fall…
And I'll be around…
… to burn it down.

Just Dave Band Los Angeles, California

Hi, Just Dave here. OK, here's the deal, here at Just Dave Band we don't have 'fans', only friends who like to hear our music. I work hard on stage, I crack jokes, I put my life stories into my tunes, and try to support a family playing and selling my original music. (and I try to keep the guys in my band busy, too!)
#StandbyforGreatness, California Country!
