We were born to embrace not accept it We were given nothing more until we kept it As the color of our boots keep fading Live a life that we hate without saying
Who would listen to the cries of a poor man Never done nothing How can we be something
Every heart has an hour of existence Every breath brings a chance for redemption If somehow we could Wake Up!
Let us love (like we were children) Make us feel (like we're still living) in a world I know is burning to the ground
It is time (to beat the system) Live this life (like we can't miss it) In a world I know is burning to the ground
In the crowd of the dead and disappointed We're ashamed given up on what we wanted Take a chance on a long shot this time Aren't we all just at least worth another try
I'm a king in the land of abuses Under my law the promise of excuses Whose to win if we know that it's not fair Who would fight when it seems that no one cares If somehow we could Wake Up!
Let us love (like we were children) Make us feel (like we're still living) in a world I know is burning to the ground
It is time (to beat the system) Live this life (like we can't miss it) In a world I know is burning to the ground
It's hard to stay here but where do we go? I know I can't feel it anymore It's true, time is wearing us down Before mother and brother will wait Waiting for our ways to change
Let us love (like we were children) Make us feel (like we were living) in a world I know is burning to the ground
We are hurtin' on the road behind you Let the wind go with you till the morning come
Yeah your sorrow, no it can't save you It won't answer for what you've done
