Jess Silk - Let the Music Play
The theatres are burningAnd that fire's raging out of control
But we watch as the puppets just ignore it
But there's a flame burning deep in our souls
And we won't let it go
This stage is going under
So we'll have to build it anew
Cause we've learned how to breathe underwater
Because that's what they forced us to do
When they chose us to lose
But we can't choose
Because this is our church and a church is wherever you build it
You don't need a stage
Not a preacher, a pulpit, just people to dance to the music
A place to feel safe
See the pillars crumble
And the archways cave under the weight
But the cornerstones wait in the rubble
And from there we'll start building again
When we know that it's safe
The winds of change are blowing
But they're not gonna blow this house down
Cause we're stronger than them and they know it
We might get lost in the roar of the crows
But what's lost will be found
So stand your ground
Because this is our church and a church is wherever you build it
You don't need a stage
Not a preacher, a pulpit, just people to dance to the music
A place to feel safe
Let the music play
They put little value on the artist and the actor
And if we should speak against them they pretend that we don't matter to the world
And all through school, we're told to look up to the lawyer
Look down on the busker and they demonize to make their message heard
Just look at history, you can't kill creativity
But they will try to shape it in a way that makes us all turn out the same
But we're not robots and we need these places
Just to keep us sane
Because this is our church and a church is wherever you build it
You don't need a stage
Not a preacher, a pulpit, just people to dance to the music
A place to feel safe
Because this is our church and a church is wherever you build it
You don't need a stage
Not a preacher, a pulpit, just people to dance to the music
A place to feel safe
Let the music play
