The Comeback

(album: The Comeback - 2021)

There's no steel on the factory line
No crops in the field
No singing on the stage
Yeah, we know how you feel

There's a thousand empty classrooms
Broken glass in the streets
Old Glory hanging on houses
We're not supposed to leave

It may feel Lady Liberty is down on her luck
But when you hit rock bottom the only way is up

There's a light after darkness that burns so sweet
There's a calm after the storm when we're off our knees
From the wreckage, there's a reckoning, that's where we'll meet
It's an underdog story the whole world will see
And the only good thing about getting knocked down
Is the comeback when it comes back around

Comeback (Comeback), yeah, yeah
Comeback (Comeback), yeah, yeah

We've got heroes on the front line
Working hundred-hour weeks
That run towards the danger
Saving strangers like me

There's no more beds
In the hospital wings
Where loved ones fly away
No last goodbye as they leave

It may feel like Lady Liberty is down on her luck
But when you hit rock bottom, only way is up

There's a light after darkness that burns so sweet
There's a calm after the storm when we're off our knees
From the wreckage there's a reckoning that's where we'll meet
It's an underdog story the whole world will see

And the only good thing about getting knocked down
Is the comeback when it comes back around

Comeback (Comeback), yeah, yeah
Comeback (Comeback), yeah, yeah

In the red, white and blue, it's time for all different colors
To break the chain of indifference and serve one another
For the future of our children, a new American dream
For the future of our children, a new American dream
Yeah

There's a light after darkness that burns so sweet
There's a calm after the storm when we're off our knees
From the wreckage there's a reckoning
That's where we'll meet
It's an underdog story the whole world will see

Comeback (Comeback), yeah, yeah
Comeback (Comeback), yeah, yeah
Comeback (Comeback), yeah, yeah
Comeback (Comeback), yes, yes
