Lyrics

Hold the Question to the Light
(Bonscher)

Hold the question to the light
Look right through
See the day through the night
Hold it up to the light
We’re gonna look right through
Everyday life looks insane
It’s not enough to want change
Hold it up to the light
Up to the light.

Hold the question to the light
It might be a sight
That'll make you uptight
But hold it up to the light
We’re gonna look through you,
Babies in jail
Rights rescind
Is this who we’ve become
or who we’ve been?
Hold it up to the light.

When you make things up every day
Nobody trusts what you say
Stop listening anyway.

If you check a screen for your thoughts,
Can you still tell right from wrong?
Hold it up to the light
Up to the light.

Hold the question to the light
Not buying the smile
Trying to make it all right
Hold it up to the light
It’s gonna look like you,
We thought these issues were all done
Now they march in torchlit songs,
Hold it up to the light.
Bullet in the head,
People pray,
To the beat and drone
of the next campaign,
Hold it up to the light.
Up to the light.
