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
