A Clouded Society
What's broken in a complete world
What do you all hold dear
When is it all gonna explode
Where is the glue to hold us all together
Unhinged we are insanely normal in a lack luster life
Where is the freedom to be me in a world of we
It takes its toll it creeps in like a thief in the night
When these storms blow there is no sign of calm
When we shut our mouths our hearts can't beat
In this world now we need to speak freely
We need to let others know how we feel
We need to build them up not knock them down
Today's agenda seems tainted by fear
Stained by the blood of the few
Our voices need to soar to new heights
We need to be held we need to know its all going to be OK
But today is not yesterday the masses of war wage on
We fight so hard to be heard but the sounds of guns drain us all out
I am here before you today on this canvas I wish to paint
Colors of insercuties no longer scribbled
I want us to see what a picture could be
It is in all of us to change to evolve to reconcile
Everything you need is right here just find the words to speak
With time its all going to heal we are stronger as one never divided
Because it is when you become the hunted in a game of chance you can't afford to not speak clearly in a clouded society.
