Anthony Russo, Ryan Oakes - Armor lyrics

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All of these outdated methods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

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

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

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

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

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
