We Haven'T Had
We haven’t had a true visionary in awhile
No one to see things in a different light, perhaps a better one
We are all born different, but taught to be the same
Our lives are controlled, just like the thoughts in our brains
We haven’t had a brave Revolutionary in awhile
no one to say yes when everyone says no
People are too scared of what the world will see
they keep their thoughts locked up, and swallow the key
We haven’t had a born leader in awhile
no one to guide humanity, because somewhere we went wrong
People talk about changing the world every day
but no ones man enough to step up and lead the way
We haven’t had a real you in awhile
you wear the mask so no one asks you what you really believe
but even if they did you’d lie so that nobody could see
you live inside of a shell so that nobody can tell
what the mind behind the mask really perceives
but the reality is you’re trapped in your own living hell
