Reality

Broken City Broken Dreams Broken Promises What does this mean? Can anyone remember? Does anyone care? The Battle is not over Our freedom is still scarce I know what you’re thinking I know what you say We won the election in 2008 Is that all it takes we win a race And now you think he’s our saving grace It takes more than a man It takes me it takes you Is there anyone out there? If so do you know what to do? Let’s fight for what’s ours Let’s start it today Equality, Freedom and the American Way The will to be all we can be The hope to do it all Oh say can you see they want us to fall So stop crying Broken Cities Stop crying Broken Dreams Stop crying Broken Promises You know what this means It means take a stand Fight for what you believe Or one day you will wake up With No Freedom That’s Reality
