| NOT LIKE THIS | ||
|
By putting ourselves on the throne of evolution
We've stopped to care for our planet We've stopped to think our fate is tied to hers And if she goes SO WILL WE!!! We self pollute We self destroy Our reason Our curse Not our blessing We must come down From the throne we built for ourselves We must unlearn the way we now look at things This world is not ours Not ours to destroy like this Our lives are not ours Not ours to destroy like this!!! | ||
| SELFISHNESS | ||
|
Selfishness
the hallmark of our shortcomings
The sickening flaw the seed of our apathy We know it’s there yet we chose to do nothing When will we see how much it keeps us down??? For years their cries have gone unheard Our selfishness has dulled us to their pain I refuse to let this be Erase the flaw, Erase the stain While millions die we choose to look the other way Finding excuses to justify why we turn our backs Tears displayed before uncaring eyes Cries that fall on deaf ears For years their cries have gone unheard Our selfishness has dulled us to their pain I refuse to let this be Erase the flaw, Erase the stain Erase the stain!!! Erase the stain!!! Erase the stain!!! Erase the stain!!! | ||
| WON'T LOSE HEART | ||
|
It hurts and it burns
And it tears me up inside To see that so few care And the ones that do are shamed and stigmatized Words of wisdom falling on deaf ears Offering a cure to world content with it’s fate You expect it to happen, but I won’t lose heart I won’t be discouraged, my concern is far too strong Strength drawn from -- from my brothers Endurance drawn from -- from within We will not be shutdown We will remain the voice of change Changes may not happen But I will believe that they can Strength drawn from -- from my brothers Endurance drawn from -- from within So I’ll do what I can While the fire burns strong While the fire burns strong!!! While the fire burns strong!!! While the fire burns strong!!! Strength in the face of adversity Idealism in the face of complacency I’ll do what I can While the fire BURNS STRONG!!! | ||
| FOR THEM | ||
|
Forgotten and ignored Those unable to fend for themselves No strength - No voice Just innocence - and a world of pain Now you've got me to fight for you I'll stand for you - I'll fight for you I know that you don't ask for much Just the right to be seen as a human being Left out - Seen as less Casualties of - a world that didn't care No I won't forget... YOU!!! | ||
| NO MORE FAILURES | ||
|
Always mad at the world Say you've been dealt a raw deal Dwelling in self pity A victim of yourself Stop cutting yourself short Don't dwell in your failures Learn the lessons they teach you Then it's time to move on Stop playing the victim Don't hold yourself back Success all up to you And your outlook in life So from now on... There will be no more victims No more victims! No more failures! No more victims! No more failures!!! | ||
| CHISELED IN SAND | ||
|
Chiseled in sand, our lives Swept away by the hands of time Just visiting in this world Yet we hold on trying to cheat our fate We see it as a disease As something not meant to be Though is the only fact, That our lives are chiseled in sand Chiseled in sand - Our lives are chiseled in sand Denial, the root of our pain It gets us by eases the pain Helps us forget . . . but it doesn't change our fate We must come to terms, and accept the fact That death is part of life So embrace life, while you can Because in this world we're just chiseled in sand Chiseled in sand - Our lives are chiseled in sand In this world . . . Our lives are chiseled in sand!!! | ||
| STRONGER | ||
|
I know it's hard, to face this world with courage Life can be tough, it can bring you to your knees So many trials, so much distress But I'll fight my way, facing my life with courage This is my way, to become stronger This is my way, to become stronger I know what it's like, to feel alone To taste defeat, to feel the pain when no one cares But I never gave up, I've always stood tall And in the end, it's always made me stronger This is my way, to become stronger This is my way, to become stronger These trials make me stronger This discipline is my way To face my life with courage Re-emerging twice as powerful!!! When it's all said and done All our lives come to an end But those who face life with courage They live and die in victory. | ||
| IMIGRANTE | ||
|
Tattered hands that toil this land Unsung heroes crowned in thorns They trade their blood, their sweat and their tears For what too many of us take for granted Our history, written in their blood sweat and tears All their hard work, somehow gone unseen Scapegoats, for every failure Alienated, and pushed aside It's easier to blame them, than accepting our flaws Disposable heroes all they want's a fair chance Our history, written in their blood sweat and tears All their hard work, somehow gone unseen This is not meant to stand up for the scum Those who give immigrants a bad name This is the way I show my respect To those who sacrifice day by day | ||
| YOUR APPROACH | ||
|
I've never questioned, an ounce of you sincerity I never questioned, the way you felt For that was never, never the issue It was always, about your approach I can see it in your eyes, the desire to help All your good intentions, and your sincerity But you distance yourself, you speak to yourself But you distance yourself, you speak to yourself Don't get me wrong, because I've felt your passion Don't get me wrong, because I've felt your pain I also know, the taste of frustration I got to know it, while I shared your approach I can see it in your eyes, the desire to help All your good intentions, and your sincerity But you distance yourself, you speak to yourself But you distance yourself, you speak to yourself

Pointless dilemma, pointless debate | Humanity's pointless chase To impose absolute views In a world of subjective views So many cultures, have paid the price Of another culture's will to reaffirm, And impose ways of life, That have worked for them Different peoples, different cultures Different worldviews, different adaptations All grappling with the same questions Birth, old age, disease and death Never a question of right or wrong Rather a question of functionality How can one culture, possess the rule To measure humankind??? Pointless dilemma, pointless debate Humanity's pointless chase To impose absolute views In a world of subjective views So many cultures, have paid the price Of another culture's will to reaffirm, And impose ways of life, That have worked for them Different peoples, different cultures Different worldviews, different adaptations All grappling with the same questions Birth, old age, disease and death If no culture holds all the truth . . . Then what's all this fighting about??? |
