Tales From My Blazing Heart

All that I have been trying to say
Is that the reason you're so depressed
Is the same reason I'm so angry
And in this constant state of unrest

Believe it or not, I was just like you
I was down trodden, sad and stressed
Didn't want to believe that this life I was living
Was designed to be a competitive test

It was acknowledgment of the facts before me
That lay before my eyes
The majority of us are no more than slaves
Used, belittled and victimized

My sorrows turned to anger
Turned to fire in my heart
There's no time to wallow in misery
It's time we pick a start

For this madness cannot be allowed to continue
To keep us enchained and imprisoned
We must search for a better way of life
Together, create a new vision
