The Power of You
Human nature the epitome of despair
Ask around, does anybody care?
The submissive to the strong and the strong to the circumstance
Historically falling into the same traps by chance
Prove a point by looking the other way
Or step-up and change today
The problem with living in this Democracy?
We can’t see the walls when we assume we’re free
When simple ideas are fed with simple lies
The power overwhelms the opposition’s cries
We live to love
Some obsessed with the power above
The power of faith can blind
Sometimes true answers are harder to find
Criticism is an instinct
Try to slow down and think
The ideal for you
Can’t always be true
The world can’t change overnight
But we’ll never know if we never try
