Michael Bonanno: Lights Over The Bar rock ballad, political rock, country rock

I can hear the beating of the drums
and the instruments are bombs
raining fire.
I can hear the beating drums of war
pounding peace away, making
patriots seem like liars.

I can hear the patriotic song,
the song that everybody
can sing to.
Let’s all sing the patriotic song.
Sing it loud and clear
so that all can hear what we cling to!

I can hear the screaming, dying voices
calling for a home that no more will be near.
I can hear the screaming, dying voices
calling for a future that has disappeared.

I can hear the silence left behind
and our leaders beating
louder on the drums.
Let’s hope we hear the music in our minds
singing songs of peace before
the end of the world comes!”
