Knowledge

what do you do when you've reached the end of the road
do you just stand there frozen still as stone
or turn around and just walk real slow
I can't speak for you but here's what I know
the world won't change it changes us
life is life no matter just how rough
there's something inside that won't be touched
the harder we're crushed the harder we clutch
not just hope not just desire but just will to be
the person that's living inside of me
just let go and be who I am
and live in a world that understands
life is life the world won't change
with a little knowledge it just might be tamed
