Lyrics In Demand - Jim James, Teddy Abrams, Louisville Orchestra

In Demand

I see blood on my phone
World spinning out of my control
I see fear in us all
Don’t need to feed it anymore
But there are things
They can’t take
Can’t take our love
Can' take our grace
Gotta take my way
When I say
That only love will light the way
I see truth in your eyes
Openness to all the skies
I see truth and every color of the rainbow
But death is in demand
And blood is on my hands
If I do nothing
Yeah death is in demand
And blood is on my hands
If I do nothing
I see love in demand
I wanna kiss your hand
Take a knee before you
Let me now adore you
I see hope amidst despair
A sea of hands in the air
A sea of people in the streets
Proclaiming love and spreading peace
A sea of love
(Gonna lift the curse)
A sign of love
(Gonna lift the curse)
By speaking out
(We're gonna lift the curse)
By just showing up
(We're gonna lift the curse)
Read the news on the wall
Well it’s bad but that’s not all
It’s been told
It’s happening inside our heads
Trading real life for online death
Trading real love for social mess
But there are things
They can’t take
Can’t take our love
Can' take our grace
You gotta take our word
When we say
That only love will light the way
But death is in demand
And blood is on my hands
If I do nothing
Yeah death is in demand
And blood is on my hands
If I do nothing
I see love in demand
I wanna kiss your hand
Take a knee before you
Let me now adore you
I see hope amidst despair
A sea of hands in the air
A sea of people in the streets
Proclaiming love and spreading peace
A sea of love
(We're gonna lift the curse)
A sign of love
(We're gonna lift the curse)
By speaking out
(We're gonna lift the curse)
