[Verse 1]
The label says “natural,” the seal says “safe”
A bright little promise on a plastic plate
The headlines trade places, the numbers don’t agree
And every polished answer leaves a question with me
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the fear dressed up as fact
I see the hand behind the act
But doubt can turn a key both ways
So I keep asking through the haze
[Chorus]
If every voice is selling a story
If every clean face hides a cost
Raise your hand up, look to the sky
Ask what is true when the lights go by
Not every shadow means a scheme
Not every warning is what it seems
Raise your hand up, look to the sky
Hold to the truth you can test with your eyes
[Verse 2]
They say the ones in marble rooms don’t know our names
That profit picks the winners and the rest take blame
The food on the table, the water in the cup
Some things need a closer look before we swallow them up
[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t call every rumor proof
I won’t mistake a fear for truth
But when the powerful close the door
I’ll ask the question twice before
[Chorus]
If every voice is selling a story
If every clean face hides a cost
Raise your hand up, look to the sky
Ask what is true when the lights go by
Not every shadow means a scheme
Not every warning is what it seems
Raise your hand up, look to the sky
Hold to the truth you can test with your eyes
[Bridge]
One truth can bear the daylight
One claim can face the test
Check the source, ask who benefits
Then let the facts do the rest
No borrowed fear can steer me
No easy answer owns my mind
I’ll reach up, breathe, and look above
Then seek what holds up in the light
[Final Chorus]
When every voice is selling a story
When every clean face hides a cost
Raise your hand up, look to the sky
Ask what is true; don’t let truth pass by
Not every shadow means a scheme
Not every warning is what it seems
Raise your hand up, look to the sky
Hold to the truth you can test with your eyes
[Outro]
Raise your hand up, look to the sky
Then bring your questions back to life
