Don't let this world
Fade away
We hold in our hands, the choice
To make our mark.
Or simply decay
All thoughts of fondness will flee the minute we lay down and recede
Future generations will only look back on us with disgust
For it will be their world then
(But it is our world now)
Don't fall into the shadows of the crowd
(Open your eyes, they're scared)
That we might figure it out
We are the heart and the soul
It's time to take back control.
I for one will not bow down to the tyrants sitting atop their thrones
Safe and sound
In their cities of gold
We are heading for ruin
But we could be more
(We can be more)
We are heading for ruin
Dare to dream
Open your hearts to sing
We create our own destiny
Who will we be?
Who will you be?
