Dawn of Today by Reasons Above All Lyrics

Is forgiveness out of reach
Is punishment what you preach
To the people with a choice
And the man without a voice
If you show me no mercy
It will make you no better than me
Then we’re just feeding the tyranny
Sometimes I don't feel sympathy
Just don’t let it kill my legacy
Please don’t erase me from your history
And I'll show you that I’m better please

Please keep me here
I promise I’ll change
Don’t let it burn away
The dawn of today yeah

We both know these waters are shallow
Yet I’m drowning in the deep
Forever lies below me
As I run out of air to breathe
You told me this was the price to pay
But could there not have been
A better way for my life to be saved
I’ll try to show you that I'm worth your time again
Then maybe you can forgive my sentiments
Don’t keep me locked away like an animal
I know how it seems but I’m still a human being

Please keep me here
I promise I’ll change
Don’t let it burn away
The dawn of today yeah

Don’t let our waste
Make a display
Don’t let it burn
Away the dawn of today
Please keep me here
I promise I’ll change
Don’t let me burn
Away the dawn of today
Don’t let it burn
Don’t let it burn
Don’t let it BURN

Please keep me here
I promise I’ll change
Don't let it burn away
The dawn of today
(Don’t let it burn)

Please keep me here
I promise I’ll change
Don’t let me burn away
The dawn of today yeah
