A New World

~~A New World

It’s not easy how to feel at times,
Sure you all feel the same.
Society makes slaves of us all,
I wonder who's to blame?

The people pull the strings,
The others take the fall,
If I reach out to you now,
Would you take the call?

They make all the rules,
We all follow blind.
Never questioning the why,
They pray we'll never find.

A reason to rise up,
The people sing as one,
The words will give us power,
Like bullets from a gun.

The idols from our past,
Had the strength to say what’s right,
We listen but don’t hear,
The message was let’s fight.

The system doesn't work,
Like honey to the bee.
We work hard for a queen,
Please just set us free.

If you don’t know what I mean,
Let’s go through my list.
Each one a symbol,
A candle in the mist:

I will start with Jonny Cash,
True diamond in the rough.
It wasn't till he died,
We couldn’t get enough.

The 60's was a golden time,
When love was free for all.
A new sound on the way,
"John Lennon this is Paul".

Can you ever imagine,
When they were both apart.
Sure destiny would find a way,
A new sound defined as art.

Since that point in time,
Sure there’s been a few.
But if we're really honest,
None as good as you.

I will keep on dreaming,
Burning passion inside my heart.
If we want to make a change,
Then this song is the start.
