we must bend the bars
|
of these cages around our hearts
|
deconstruct the confines
|
of a weary existence
|
smash apart the stones
|
piled high upon our chests
|
and take in our first
|
breaths of freedom
|
there is no waiting for
|
life to come strike us
|
we must seek it out
|
if we are to feel it's touch
|
and i resolve to seize each day
|
and not let go until
|
my hands can't hold
|
|
we
|
must not
|
separate ourselves from life
|
|
cherish and prize each breath
|
taken upon this earth
|
this is our only chance
|
one life, and then it's over
|
|
you've just got to decide
|
if you'll live life on your knees
|
a clear choice
|
between revolution and apathy
|
if the pain is too much,
|
you can look to me
|
i'll be there to help you up,
|
up to your feet
|
|
we must forge a path
|
straight through to the light
|
raise ourselves up before
|
we fade into the night
|
|
sinking down we are drowning
|
in a pool of despair
|
watching as our lives are
|
wrenched away from our hands
|
|
this is the match
|
held to the fuse
|
the spark that will
|
ignite change
|
we'll sift through the
|
wreckage left behind
|
and dance among the
|
ruins of our prisons
|
