Do we have to sit on our hands
while the old world falls around us?
Do we have to lower our gaze
as our friends are becoming strangers?
Why don't we sing a stronger song?
Why don't we fight 'till the battle's won?
Stuck inside a brave new world, a dream
becoming unable to face reality
in find some release I'd love
I've locked myself in jail, a hell my own
A child we're seen by those suspended by
beliefs and convictions from long ago
for what reason are we blinded, then?
released to die, never loved again?
Why don't we sing a stronger song?
Why don't we fight 'till the battle's won?
A child is no more incapable of being twisted than a mighty oak
we've somehow got lost raising them
blaming others for the bent saplings they've become
I'd rather live in a world
where we can love and live together
Why don't we sing a stronger song?
Why don't we fight 'till the battle's won?
Do we have to sit on our hands
while the old world falls around us?
Do we have lower our gaze
as our friends are becoming strangers?
