Have You Ever Actually Watched His Debates?

+ Show full styles

(Chorus)
Have you ever actually watched his debates?
Sat through the whole thing instead of clips and viral takes?
You don't have to leave agreeing with a single thing he said,
Just hear the whole conversation before repeating what you've read.
Before you tell me who he was, before you seal his fate...
Have you ever actually watched his debates?

(Verse 2)
He'd pull up one more folding chair, say, "Come and change my mind."
Didn't care where you came from, left or right behind.
One more student, one more hour, one more honest chance to find,
Maybe we'd agree—or maybe we'd just leave a little kinder.

(Verse 3)
Some folks threw around the labels, never stayed to hear him through,
Judging every conversation by a headline someone drew.
Truth can make us uncomfortable; that's always been the case,
But truth deserves an honest hearing, face to face.

(Bridge)
A question isn't violence.
A conversation isn't hate.
If words become a death sentence,
We've lost something truly great.
Facts don't bend to feelings,
Though feelings have their place.
A free people shouldn't fear the cost
Of speaking face to face.

(Final Chorus)
Have you ever actually watched his debates?
Or just heard somebody tell you what he said?
You don't have to share his politics or walk the very road he made,
But hear him for yourself before his story starts to fade.
No one should lose their life because they chose to stand and speak;
No family should lose a loved one over words exchanged in peace.
Before you tell me who he was, before you seal his fate...
Have you ever actually watched his debates?

(Outro)
Turn off the noise, turn off the hate,
Turn off the headlines on your plate.
Don't let strangers choose your view,
Find the whole story, see it through.

You don't have to think like me,
You don't have to even agree.
Just promise me before you say...
You'll hear the whole thing anyway.

Have you ever actually watched his debates?
Or just the clips they chose to play?
Before you tell me who he was...
Ask yourself that one last thing—

Have you ever actually watched his debates?

(Verse 1) Everybody's got an opinion, everybody's got a clip, Ten seconds on a glowing screen and everybody's got a quip. They'll tell you what he stood for before they ever pressed play, I just stop and ask one question before I walk away. (Chorus) Have you ever actually watched his debates? Sat through the whole thing instead of clips and viral takes? You don't have to leave agreeing with a single thing he said, Just hear the whole conversation before repeating what you've read.
