John Adams by Tony Winters Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We live in a world of silence
That erupts in a single threat
Seven billion angry people
Who all live different lives, and yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Their faith lies in purity of governance
Their castles are no longer built in sand
And they believe their freedom is at hand

[Chorus]
So why am I John Adams in my own fantasy?
Trying to build a nation that will long to be free
Hoping the people will rise
But I will bury my eyes until then

[Verse 2]
I live in a world of madness
But I refuse to beliеve I'm mad
As I awake from a lonesomе nightmare
Like the founding fathers had
[Pre-Chorus]
Where I stand alone in front of a staring crowd
Waiting to hear what I have to say
And afraid to offend anyone, I walk away

[Chorus]
So why am I John Adams in my own fantasy?
Should I bury the hatchet and hope it all comes to me?
Someday the people will rise
But I will bury my eyes until then

[Bridge]
But I've read each story, and I've followed each plot
And I know he would never step aside
But still my heart says I should wait it out
Just for a while, just a while
Just a little while longer!

[Chorus]
So why am I John Adams in my own fantasy
If I can't feel the power that is rising in me?
I know the people will rise
But will I bury my eyes?

[Chorus]
Why am I John Adams in my own fantasy?
Trying to build a world where we can always be free?
I know the people will rise
Don't want to bury my eyes
I know the people will rise
Don't want to bury my eyes
I know the people will rise
Don't want to bury my eyes until then
