Burning Daylight

Burning Daylight
(Jacob R. McGowen)

[1st Verse]
We live with constant madness
We live with constant fear
We want no pain, no sadness
To live and have no tears

[Pre-Chorus]
So we fight for attention
To earn some cash or fame
Or we get lost in scrolling
Thinking of what could change

[Chorus]
We are fools for always
burning daylight
(Burning daylight)
For worrying bout things
we can’t control
(We can’t control)
And we are fools
for always burning daylight
(burning daylight)
And if we gain the world
We lose our souls
(We lose our souls)

[2nd Verse]
We live with great division
Over an orange man
We think we all know better
And so we harm our land

[Pre-Chorus]
Meanwhile the times are trying
We fight to just survive
If we could love our neighbors
Perhaps we all could thrive

[2nd Verse]
And we are fools for always
Burning daylight
(Burning daylight)
For choosing not to love
And just forgive
(And just forgive)
And we are fools
for always burning daylight
(burning daylight)
For failing to repent
Of all our sins
(Of all our sins)

[Bridge]
It’s time to get to praying
It’s time to be a man
It’s time to heal our families
It’s time to change this land
It’s time to get to praying
It’s time to be a man
It’s time to heal our families
It’s time to change this land

[Outro]
So let’s join hands and stop our
Burning daylight
(Burning daylight)
And love all even if we disagree
(We disagree)
For if we stop all of our
Burning daylight
(Burning daylight)
The Devil, man, He
Can’t ever succeed
(He can’t succeed!)
