THE GIANTS IN THE LAND (2)

THE GIANTS IN THE LAND

(4-Minute Thoughtful Folk-Rock / Johnny Cash Train-Beat Style)

[Intro – Spoken / Half Sung]

There ain’t nothin’ new under the sun…

Different towers… same old kings…

Different chains… same old giants…

Used to be giants standin’ tall with shields and sharpened spears

Now they hide behind the money and manufacture fear

Big banks hold the harvest, big tech owns the town

Big medicine writes the rules while the people spiral down

Everywhere you look now, another lock and key

Another little piece of freedom sold as “security”

They say “Trust the system, let the experts lead the way”

But truth gets harder to recognize with every passing day

We were grasshoppers in our own eyes

That’s how the giants always rise

Fear gets planted deep inside

Till whole generations hide

The giants in the land ain’t wearin’ armor anymore

They rule with debt and data from behind a hidden door

Big walls, big lies, big towers in the sky

But every giant ever built was born to someday die

Ohhhh… there’s nothin’ new under the sun

Round and round the old world runs

Every empire comes undone

There’s nothin’ new under the sun

Rules keep multiplying while common sense disappears

Paperwork and permission replacing faith through the years

The middle keeps on shrinking while the rich buy up the ground

And the people feel the pressure though they can’t quite pin it down

Truth starts sounding scripted, every channel sings the same

Questioning the narrative gets treated like a shame

Food travels thousand miles while local farms fade away

One disruption from collapse and shelves go bare one day

Giants always grow too wide

Too much power centralized

History leaves the same old scars

Broken thrones and fallen stars

The giants in the land ain’t wearin’ armor anymore

They rule with screens and silence from behind a hidden door

Big walls, big lies, big towers in the sky

But every giant ever built was born to someday die

Ohhhh… there’s nothin’ new under the sun

Round and round the old world runs

Every empire comes undone

There’s nothin’ new under the sun

[Bridge – Lower / Reflective]

David never beat Goliath

By becoming something bigger

He refused the king’s own armor

And he pulled that sling-trigger

Simple stones… steady hands…

Faith stronger than commands

Giants stumble… giants fall…

When people stop believing them at all

[Final Chorus – Bigger]

The giants in the land still shout across the fear tonight

But truth survives in little fires burning through the night

Big chains, big schemes, big kingdoms built on sand

But freedom starts returning when the people understand

Ohhhh… there’s nothin’ new under the sun

The battle’s old but not yet done

Every giant falls one by one

There’s nothin’ new under the sun

[Outro – Spoken]

The valley’s still here…

The stones are still free…

And the giant still depends…

On being believed…
