Fighting so hard to be heard
|
Yet having nothing to say
|
You talk about changing masses
|
But forget those close to you
|
|
Most of us have given up
|
On these words that all sound the same
|
But I am still willing to believe
|
If you have done all that you can
|
|
You can justify almost anything
|
If you are willing to be loud enough
|
But once you've spent everything
|
To change the world around you
|
Even if your voice is taken away
|
Such actions will still inspire
|
|
Most of us have given up
|
On these words that all sound the same
|
But I am still willing to believe
|
If you have done all that you can
|
|
Drained
|
Spent
|
Determined
|
Intent
|
Now you've earned the right to be heard
|
|
We've been deceived by elegant speech
|
Whose only concern is mere distraction
|
|
Defender
|
|
Drained
|
Spent
|
Determined
|
Intent
|
Now you've earned the right to be heard
|
|
I will follow to the grave
|
A man who's willing to die
|
|
Most of us have given up
|
On these words that all sound the same
|
But I am stilling willing to believe
|
If you have done al that you can
|
|
I am willing to die
|
