MORE THAN THIS
It's a light we can barely see
It's an open door
When we have no choice
It's embracing your enemy
It's a stranger
It's a Hero's war
It's a cry for recovery
Feel mistreated
For no reason
Taking the life out of everything
It's a secret undefeated
But I cannot break
I'll fight for you!
It's the world we know inside
Building castles with our minds
Breathing life again
We are more than this
Turning fear into our fight
Not letting go keeps us alive
We breathe life again
We are more than this
It's avoiding uncertainty
It's anger. It's a grudge released
It's believing in anything
It's danger. It's the lives we reach
For the sake of humanity
Can't point the finger
At your leaders
It's defining reality
Who we gotta be
Who ya gonna be?
But I cannot break
I'll fight for you!
It's the world we know inside
Building castles with our minds
Breathing life again
We are more than this
Turning fear into our fight
Not letting go keeps us alive
We breathe life again
We are more than this
Though I'm weak
I'm awake
My soul abused
But I cannot break
I'll fight for you
It's the world we know inside
Building castles with our minds
Breathing life again
We are more than this
Turning fear into our fight
Not letting go keeps us alive
We breathe life again
We are more than this
@Rebldoomer, the band is based in Japan, so their CDs are imports...probably why they are more expensive. They are working on a deal for a US release of their new album, though. Follow them on facebook/heavensdust for more info.

Please keep in mind that this is not an Evans Blue song; it is a song by our friends, the Japanese band HeavensDust, and they asked Dan from EB to contribute his lyrics, melody and vocals. Our hope is to help the people who are being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation, including the band and their families. So that is why the song is for Japan; the idea for The Sounds Of Hope EP came from them.

Thank you for all the positive comments! This particular song and video were created to help Japan as a collaboration with our friends HeavensDust who live there. But we do care about victims of disaster in all parts of the world. Evans Blue is also playing a benefit in St Louis on Aug 11th for the victims of the Joplin tornadoes. We try to do all we can do to help wherever possible.
