Role Play

What happens when you know The difference between right and wrong Majority sings wrong So you sing the same song What happens when you Value love but you're forced to Value money Now you're living like someone else Because you think if you were yourself The only thing left of you Would be a picture on the shelf You just couldnt make it through Holding on to your precious values Now you're teaching your 5 year old How to be a soldier Because you have grown cold As you have grown older Taking away a future that could Bring positive change Because everyone in a lifetime has a role to play In a big crowd, if you're the one To sit down You're leaving room for someone to take your place So in everything you do Be encouraged to be you And be consistent When you dont play your role Then a piece of the story Is missing
