We All Bleed Red

Thoughts swirling in my head Remembering we all bleed red Life is a tapestry True happiness a dream Such a confusing world Paradise yet to be seen A country with a dark past Some hauntings still last Unwilling to change, planted in lead Feel it with your heart and head No crystal ball No room to fall Deeper into our subconscious Life is far too precious A bitter pill Such a large hill Let freedom ring Let children sing Saying hell no Not in our name This is a political game Most looking for fame Dig a grave Hell, it's a road you paved Here to make waves Those who are adverse Stuck with the curse Burden on the young Who is truly free It will never be you or me We mourn over the dead A nation so divided We are tainted From birth we are painted Who are the real heros We all have blood on our hands Invisible to most Only the true can see Even on our homeland We have a roll to play History is witten in stone Learn from it instead of beating it to the bone Our futute is only written in clay Still malleable All life is valuable Old school. . New school It is what's in our hearts Time to stop tearing one another apart Just take a stand Even if you walk alone Hold your head up high What is life if you are to afraid to fly? We all bleed red Time for a transformation Get ready to shed Change doesn't come easy Fear those with nothing to lose We all deserve to live as we choose Get ready because we all have a voice Step up and make a choice We condemn those we don't know Some of us even for show Confusion runs through me Unsure of how things should be My constant idealistic views Desperately grasping not to become jaded Dreaming of a utopia Generations before us Marching through the gas Fighting for peace and love Is the joke on me? Is there something I can't see? Scared for our youth Where are the leaders? Put personal pride aside Stand tall Take risks Look in the mirror It's time to live without fear
