Sit Down at the Table (v2) — dbuck

Verse 1

Cracks run deep through the valley floor,
Voices like thunder, no one hears no more.
Sky burns red, the air is dry,
We keep throwing stones at the same old sky.

Chorus

Cool it down, let the fire fade,
We’ve been shouting in the storm, and it don’t change a thing.
Sit down in the dust, share the smoke and the shade,
One land, one story — gotta learn how to listen again.

Verse 2

Borders drawn in shifting sand,
Hands clenched tight, forgetting we’re the same band.
Mountains don’t care who’s wrong or right,
They’ve stood through ages, watching us fight.

Chorus

Cool it down, let the fire fade,
We’ve been shouting in the storm, and it don’t change a thing.
Sit down in the dust, share the smoke and the shade,
One land, one story — gotta learn how to listen again.

Bridge

Iron won’t save us, steel won’t keep the peace,
The desert whispers softly, “Let the madness cease.”
Stars don’t take sides, they just burn above,
Maybe what we’re missing is a little bit of love.

Chorus

Cool it down, let the fire fade,
We’ve been shouting in the storm, and it don’t change a thing.
Sit down in the dust, share the smoke and the shade,
One land, one story — gotta learn how to listen again.

Outro

One land… one story…
Got to listen again.
