Text:
Verse 1
There’s a shadow on the highway,
where hope once learned to run.
A preacher’s voice on TV,
selling fear like it’s the rising sun.
And people searching for a savior,
followed words made out of gold —
but the gold turned into iron,
and the iron’s growing cold.

Pre-Chorus
They said “Believe in me, I’ll lift you higher,”
but every promise was built on fire.

Chorus
And now the streets have lost their name,
the lines grow deeper every day.
A nation split by a leader’s game —
you deserve the truth, not someone’s fame.
Raise your voices, break the chain,
let the light return again.

(solo)

Verse 2
There’s a family in the suburbs,
struggling harder than before.
While the one who claimed to save them
paints his palace with gilded doors.
Populists rise by division,
they whisper lies into your pain —
but the dream of all Americans
was never meant to end in shame.

Pre-Chorus
They said “I alone can fix it all,”
but every echo became a wall.

Chorus
And now the streets have lost their name,
truth buried under the shouting flames.
A nation tired of the same old blame —
you deserve hope, not someone’s claim.
Raise your voices, break the chain,
let the light return again.

Bridge
Lift your hearts above the noise,
beyond the anger, past the choice.
Democracy is more than one man’s throne —
it’s the people who make a country strong.
You’re not broken, you’re not alone —
the light is yours, take it home.

(solo)

Final Chorus
When the streets regain their name,
and the truth no longer hides in shame,
America will rise again —
guided not by fear, but flame.
Raise your voices, break the chain…
let the light return again.

Light Where The Truth Once Shone
