every day that I breathe the breath of life

I face the hate, the pain, the strife

that invade my mind - and try to close my eyes.

enmity surrounds me - bitterness and animosity.

but that's not what I want to be - and it fills my heart with grief.



I can feel it in the air around us - a sense of hopelessness.

the truth is hidden in the mess - and the youth are getting restless.

I know that this world will fade - despite the words I have to say.

but I can't just look away - or watch it all decay.



the anger's there, the hatred's there, but when I look into your eyes,

it's more in sorrow, than in anger, that I raise my voice.

sorrow, because I can't make your choice for you.

your respect is not enough for me - to sit silently.

the things I say, I mean - it's not about what you think of me.

it's not enough for me to die - just knowing that I tried.

I don't want to see your life - destroyed by countless lies.

I won't stand by - and watch you die.



the anger's there, the hatred's there,

the anger's there, the hatred's there, but when I look into your eyes,

it's more in sorrow, than in anger, that I raise my voice.

sorrow, because I can't make your choice for you.
