another lie,
but time keeps passing
by and by.
Every second
of everyday
another screw up
along the way.
Why can't things
just go as planned
why must we walk on
uneven land.
Why can't life
for once be fair
why are we punished
for all that we care.
Goodness lies within
one and all it's true
so why are we being punished
for the few bad things some people do.
I don't think anyone really means
to truly cause another's pain
this life is getting ridiculous
what happened to the rules of the game.
Rules are meant to be broken
I agree that this is true,
thought not meant to be used against us all
everyone, me, you.
I mean what are we supposed to do
when the entire world stops making sense
how are we supposed to cope
when there's no such thing as innocence.
Society has taken away
our choices we hold dear
yet instead of using our voices
we shy away in fear.
When we start letting people
those we do not know
start making our decision
where's the room to grow.
We can no longer be ourselves
as stereotypes define
so why are we allowing this
this is our place and time.
The past is far behind us
the future's all but gone
the only thing we have is now
between sunset and dawn.
Start making your own choices
stand up for what's inside
how are we to live our lives
if we just sit around and hide.
I'm speaking up
I'm speaking
no more room
for any doubt
and now I see
what must be done
and I hope there's a chance
if even just one.
Alone I'm one voice
and true that's all it takes
thought when we stand together
ruckus we usually make
and this our chance
to stand up and fight
for what we know in our hearts
is truly right.
Maybe I'll stand alone
know that I'm doing it for you
and no matter who you are
you're always welcome too.
