|
I wanna be better than oxygen so you can breathe |
|
When you're drowning and weak in the knees |
|
I wanna speak louder than |
|
Ritalin for all the children |
|
Who think that they've got a disease |
|
I wanna be cooler than |
|
TV for all the kids that |
|
Are wondering what they are goin' to be |
|
We can be stronger than bombs if you're singin' along |
|
And you know that you really believe |
|
We can be richer than industry as long as we know |
|
That there's things that we don't really need |
|
We can speak louder than ignorance' |
|
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet |
|
On and on and on it goes |
|
The world it just keeps spinning |
|
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe |
|
So close my eyes and start again anew |
|
I wanna see through all the lies of society |
|
To the reality, happiness is at stake |
|
I wanna hold up my head with dignity |
|
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take |
|
I want to live beyond the modern mentality |
|
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create |
|
Do you remember the forgotten |
|
AmericaJustice, equality, freedom to every race |
|
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy |
|
Make up an heir to the truth behind every face |
|
That look around to all the people you see |
|
How many of them are happy and free? |
|
I know it sounds like a dream but it's |
|
The only thing that can get me to sleep at night |
|
I know it's hard to believe but it's easy |
|
To see that something here isn't right |
|
I know the future looks dark but it's |
|
There that the kids of today must carry the light |
|
On and on and on it goes |
|
The world it just keeps spinning |
|
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe |
|
So close my eyes and start again anew |
|
If I'm afraid to catch a dream, |
|
I weave your baskets |
|
And I'll float them down the river stream |
|
Each one I weave with words |
|
I speakTo carry love to your relief |
|
I wanna be better than oxygen so you can breathe |
|
When you're drowning and weak in the knees |
|
I wanna speak louder than |
|
Ritalin for all the children |
|
Who think that they've got a disease |
|
I wanna be cooler than |
|
TV for all the kids that |
|
Are wondering what they are goin' to be |
|
We can be stronger than bombs if you're singin' along |
|
And you know that you really believe |
