Lyrics
I’ve come to find my answers,
Instead I’ve climbed the fences
Over the mountains of all human flaws
If I’m to fight for freedom
I’ve gotta have my reasons
Is it a treason to change status quo?
I need to know the truth before
the children start their crying,
the blackened sky begins to fall, begins to speed the deaths.
Chorus:
I don’t believe the wars are ever won when the lives are lost!
I don’t believe the tale that
the strong is right and the weak is wrong!
And either way you choose it, every war will bring one more
Please, shut your eyes in justice and open your hearts.
I yet will not surrender
But this will not depend on
What lies they spin on the screen they control.
I’m no one’s truth defendant,
Just everyone’s descendant
waiting for the cheapest grimace to unfold.
I’d like to see the truth before
the water stops its flowing,
the blackened sky begins to fall, begins to speed the deaths.
Chorus:
Bridge:
If you set your wants so skyhigh
Don’t ignore the others’s pain
If you don’t hear the world around you
You will pay the price again.
