For all of
my years I've wanted to be
All that I
can be and maybe a little more;
But the
world around me speaks a different language,
Like they've
chosen a path for all
And I am expected
to follow.
When money
begins to speak
Life around
you crumbles,
And a new dark
world begins to rise
When each
brick in the wall speaks lies.
Takes away a little from you each time
Slowly but surely you walk in their way
Just like struggling in a quick sand
No reasoning here, it's a no man's land
No reasoning here, it's a no man's land
The sun
rises in the East so I’ve been told
But for how
long will that truth hold?
The setting
of the sun with its crimson red
Tells a
thousand stories of blood that’s been shed
“Twinkle
twinkle little star how I wonder what you are”
Now the stars can hardly be seen with the dark clouds a-blockin’
Now the stars can hardly be seen with the dark clouds a-blockin’
The day is
no better with all chemical haze above a-hoverin’.
Vision is
blurred and our judgement greatly flawed;
Will we ever
heed to the path of innocence taught,
And start
the walk back to that place of joy and reverence -
That perfect
peace and love found only in his presence?
Don’t walk
away in silence like you don’t care,
Ignorance is
not bliss, know the truth and dare
To live the
change we dream about;
Start from me
and you and let it ripple out.
