ross king - better country lyrics

[verse 1]
i wish that i could choose a side
set my feet on party lines
follow them with peace of mind
wherever they go
it would be much easier
if you would tell me word for word
who to bless and what to curse
and how to cast my vote

[pre+chorus 1]
’cause i believe without a doubt
either side would sell you out
if they thought you were draggin’ down their ratings
and i will not align myself
with whitewashed tombs and sons of h+ll
whose gods of war and power and wealth are fading

[chorus]
so here i am, like abraham
i long for home, a place i know is so far from me
and on the earth, a foreigner
with eyes above, dreamin’ of a better country

[verse 2]
i wish that i could find a thread
clearly marked in blue or red
directing my conflicted head
toward somethin’ close to truth
all i see are warning signs
hastily drawn battle lines
where heart’s are swapped for crooked spines
and nothin’ points to you
[pre+chorus 2]
’cause all my life i’ve been so sure
that on our side we had the cure
our words were true, our motives pure and righteous
but now i’m seeing to my shame
that right and righteous aren’t the same
and what if god himself is not behind us?

[chorus]
so here i am, like abraham
i long for home, a place i know is so far from me
and on the earth, a foreigner
with eyes above, dreamin’ of a better country
[post+chorus]
i believe we can get there
i believe we can get there
i believe in a better country

[bridge]
go into the city
that my faith fathers sought
its foundations are st+rdy
’cause its builder is god
in the bright sky above it
there is no moon or sun
the lord is its light
no darkness or night
shall ever come
[interlude]
oh
hallelujah, hallelujah
oh

[chorus]
so here i am, like abraham
i long for home, a place i know is so far from me
and on the earth, a foreigner
with eyes above, dreamin’ of a better country

[post+chorus]
i believe we can get there
i believe we can get there
i believe in a better country, oh+oh+oh+oh
i believe we can get there
i believe we can get there
i believe in a better country
