lyrics

"THE GOOD AND THE FAIR" by David Guilbault

I don’t really know - but I’ve been told,
Any day now - the truth will take hold.
Scales will fall - from the blinded eyes.
A clarion call will - summon the rise
Of the good and the fair.

The land will be free of the - lies we’ve heard.
We can all be what - we’ve been worth.
With a helping hand and a - gracious heart
All across this land will be a - brand new start
Of the good and the fair.

It’s good to fight so we can breathe.
It’s fair, this right to be free.

There’s a healing wind coming ‘round the bend,
Riding on a feeling that has come to mend
Our broken wings so we can fly, again.
Gonna dry our eyes, calm our breath,
Rise so high above this mess
And leave the fear and the hatred behind.

We can be one in - common cause.
Battles are done that - brought the loss
Of dignity and - human care
Like the kind you see when the - love is there
For the good and the fair.

It’s good to fight so we can breathe.
It’s fair, this right to be free.

There’s a healing wind coming ‘round the bend,
Riding on a feeling that has come to mend
Our broken wings so we can fly, again.
Gonna dry our eyes, calm our breath,
Rise so high above this mess
And leave the fear and the hatred behind.
Let the good and the fair be sublime.
Let the good and the fair be sublime.
