I wanna be better than oxygen So you can breathe when youre drowning and weak in the knees I wanna speak louder than Ritalin For all the children who think that theyve got a disease I wanna be cooler than t.v. For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be We can be stronger than bombs If youre singing along and you know that you really believe We can be richer than industry As long as we know that theres things that we dont really need We can speak louder than ignorance Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet. 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 youre really taught to create Do you remember the forgotten America? Justice, equality, freedom to every race? Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy Make up and hair 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 its the only thing that can get me to sleep at night I know its hard to believe But its easy to see that something here isnt right I know the future looks dark But its there that the kids of today must carry the light. If im afraid to catch a dream I weave your baskets and Ill float them down the river stream Each one i weave with words i speak to carry love to your relief.
