Trying to be Free
It’s the influential period
Where everything matters
But nothing will stay with us
Except for everything that hurts.
And you sit us down with shackles
And with condemning rules
You tear ’til we unravel
And leave us without a clue.
So it’s no wonder that
We’re lost among the twilight,
As we’re sailing through the sea
We’re stumbling ’round our lives
We’re just trying to be free.
You think we’re one and the same
You make us all dull and gray
Each of us can fight for ourselves
We don’t all procrastinate.
You separate us into groups
Not giving people what they need
You take away our choices
You trample on our voices.
So it’s crystal clear why
We’re lost among the twilight,
As we’re sailing through the sea
We’re stumbling ’round our lives
We’re just trying to be free.
But the weird thing is
You’re just looking out for us
It’s this damn twisted system
That really hates our guts.
It’s not on your head that
We’re lost among the twilight,
As we’re sailing through the sea
We’re stumbling ’round our lives
We’re just trying to be free.
It’s a burden we have to bear
But not for long
We’ll change things,
I swear.
Here We Are
We are broken, you and I
We are all broken, we can’t reach the sky.
We are all broken, but we still fly.
We are all broken, don’t lend us a hand
We are all broken, but we will stand.
We are all broken, in our minds and hearts.
We are all broken, have been since the start.
We are all wounded, we’re bleeding out.
We are all wounded, we won’t stop right now.
We are all wounded, down to the very core
We are all wounded, but this is our war.
We are all shattered, our spirits have fallen
We are all shattered, we rest in our coffins.
We are all shattered, our voices remain
We are all shattered, we dance in the rain.
We have all ended, look at where we lay.
We have all ended, we’re part of the fray.
We have all ended, we’ve joined the stars.
We have all ended, yet here we are.
Fight On
Through the pain, through the night
Through the threats, you can fight.
Even through the doubts, you can wage
Your infinite war, no matter your age.
Fight on.
Your voice can be heard, even if someone won’t listen
You can be impactful, forget about that politician
This is a democracy, a government for the people
Use your power to speak up, help everyone be equal
Fight on.
Even if you feel small, every little thing counts
We can make change, but only if we announce
’We are the people, and we don’t agree
With all of these unfair, unjust, unintelligent policies’.
Fight on.
History is changing, be a part of the action
Help the world move forward, let’s start a chain reaction
Fight on.
Have pride in your country, step up and join the movement
We’re always evolving, always searching for improvement.
Fight on.
Fight on.
Fight on.
