Armor

[Verse 1: Ryan Oakes]

I woke up with a blessing, I look straight to the heavens

Said I could feel that holy presence telling us to raise our weapons

I said all of this aggression ain't the way to spread a message

Time and time the world is testing all of these outdated methods

I'm just trying to raise the bar

Yeah, we know those time are hard

We all divided we can't let the media tear us apart

I tell ya it's time to give some heart

Be the people that can spark

The world that can change the way we living, man it's time to leave a mark

That's for Christians and Muslims and anybody of color

Who feels mistreated on my single parents, couples and lovers

It's time to put your weapons down and stop killing each other

You are not black and I'm not white you're just my sisters and brothers

[Chorus: Anthony Russo]

We don't have to act like everything's all right

I know what you've been through, I know that you're not fine

You don't have to put armor, armor, for me

I know it's been a long day, it's all gone the wrong way

But please don't give up, don't throw it all away

You don't have to put armor, armor, for me

[Verse 2: Ryan Oakes]

I look around and it ain't hard to tell the world that it's at its  tipping point

This generation it could change it all with just a different point of view

An opportunity to go and make a difference choice and bring the world together

Man, It's time to hear a different voice

Cause all that's on your TV is a bunch of visions

They try to turn us on eachother, we've been stuck in this rhythm

I'm trying to show the world that it ain't hard to get out of the prison

That's leading us to the end, I got these different visions

Where people don't judge others based on only religion

A world where people don't see color as a sign of suspicion

A place united as a world where everybody is living

And if you look to your left that person wouldn't be different

[Chorus: Anthony Russo]

We don't have to act like everything's all right

I know what you've been through, I know that you're not fine

You don't have to put armor, armor, for me

I know it's been a long day, it's all gone the wrong way

But please don't give up, don't throw it all away

You don't have to put armor, armor, for me

[Bridge: Anthony Russo]

Swords and shields won't change how you feel

Let your guard down, that's when it gets real

No Superman's, nobody made of steel

Gotta recognize the wounds if you ever want to heal

Swords and shields won't change how you feel

Let your guard down, that's when it gets real

No Superman's, nobody made of steel

Gotta recognize the wounds if you ever want to heal

[Chorus: Anthony Russo]

We don't have to act like everything's all right

I know what you've been through, I know that you're not fine

You don't have to put armor, armor, for me

I know it's been a long day, it's all gone the wrong way

But please don't give up, don't throw it all away

You don't have to put armor, armor, for me
