Zeichen setzen. In unruhiger, unsicherer Zeit. James Day macht das Beste aus seiner Wut: Text und Musik. Cheryl “Pepsii” Riley, Tony Terry, Glenn Jones, Audrey Wheeler, Tim Owens und Clevelnad P. Jones stimmen ein. Hoch-emotionale Botschaft und Aufruf. „Battlegrounds is an All Star effort to raise awareness, encourage action, and promote CHANGE“.
when the battle lines are drawn
whose side will you be on
will your mind be led by pride or by the proof
when you’ve seen your brothers die
and you’ve heard your mothers cry
will you shed the tears that sting your eyes with truth
we’re living on battlegrounds
so if you don’t hear the sounds
of screams & sirens
and weapons firing
then who have we become
we’re living on battlegrounds
each day is another round
and with your silence
you share alliance
with those who hold the guns
shouldnt people feel the same
when they call the fallen names
or does it only hurt if it’s someone you knew
have we grown so far apart
we can’t reach each others hearts
when did love become the hardest thing to do
will you stand by me
or my enemy
i remember when
we used to be like family
we’re living on battlegrounds
of screams & sirens
and weapons firin‘
we’re living on battlegrounds
of our mothers cryin
and bullets flyin‘
why are we living on battlegrounds
