Truth Be Known

People wanna see things their own way They fear what they do not understand every day Even when the most beautiful paintings of life Are placed directly in front of you And the bright colors of emotions shines in light You just turn and walk away and ignore youth's life What do you see when our teens walk? They walk with pride, hair slicked back, blue jeans, White T, and ups, smiling with dignity I know you see nothing, instead you look with pitty It's a shame when youth's can see The imagination of truth more clearly We see life how it is and how its been We're afraid to speak so instead we pick up a pen We write in a safe haven's diary of truth To keep important memories of our youth You continue to put us down And steal our diamonds of hope and pearls of joy And take away our meaningful, cheerful noise You kill our dreams And the blood from it fills the streams The streams turn into rivers And the rivers into lakes and lakes into oceans The pictures of life moves with motion But they are repaired by faith And eventually we will rise to power And they'll see us triumph in our highest towers
