Renegade
I don't know how, but one day I'll be great.
It is the one thing I know, its called fate.
If you just wait and see,
I'll change the course of history.
I'll change it with my own philosophy.
What I speak is true, not mythology.
I have the power to do this, just as you do.
The difference is, in the hardest of times, I'll still pursue.
I'm not going to stop the next world war,
and I'm not going to find the next great cure.
I will bring the world closer with my writing.
So that one day we'll be closer to uniting.
Following Thomas Paine, Malcolm X and Alexander the Great's crusade.
I will conquer the globe with the steps they laid.
I will let everyone know the price that had to be paid.
I will unite this world in a peace, because I am a renegade.
Now you can watch me from the distance,
or help me fight against the resistance.
All you do is when you see bigotry or inequality, rise above.
Just turn away and promote one thing, its easy, its called one-love.
