Look Up
A world in which people look down,
Like a monarch who cares for his crown,
Not the kingdom which he is to rule;
Power is the choice of a fool.
Which road are we willing to take?
The choice we make for our own sake.
Brotherly love is a thing long past,
Nobody cares for the outcast.
Look up, raise your eyes, make a difference,
Don't wait in the deepening silence.
Lift your eyes to the sky and off of the floor,
Make the first move, fight the first war.
It's not an easy track to trek,
To pull up humanity's shipwreck.
But together we can conquer all
That's in our way after the fall.
