For the World

Some see it clear as the day, some clouded by the doubt
There's a flood of hate and love is in a draught
There's people being poisoned each and every day
Fingers being pointed each and every way
I weep for the world, I weep for you and me
I weep for the world, is this how it's supposed to be
Oh no, I don't think so
Ain't it funny how we're in the age of information
And schools are made for profit instead of education
They're students taught to test instead of people to grow
A world that's run by greed is all they'll ever know
I weep for the world, I weep for you and me
I weep for the world, is this how it's supposed to be
Oh no, I don't think so, no no
The left and right they're both wrong you know that that's the truth
They create the problems then blame it on the youth
Distract and divide, lather rise repeat
Add a little pinch of fear and watch it as they eat it up
Well I weep for the world, I weep for you and me
I weep for the world, is this how it's supposed to be
No no, I don't think so, no no
Despite all of this, there's hope for us you see
We can come together and for the world find peace

Soon

A bright and slightly cloudy day, perfect for a ride
Hopped on my motorcycle and hit the countryside
About four miles down the road's and intersection hill and curve
Where I let off the gas and lean into the turn
But as I approached the crest of this familiar hill
An old man turned in front of me and time nearly stood still
Now the way I look at this, ain't the way I look at that
No matter what happens next, next may never last
Oh take a look at this, take a look at that
No matter what happens soon, soon will soon be in the past
In the blink of an eye, his car just feet ahead
I could hear my heart beating in my head
And I could see him panic as I hit my brakes to slow
A woman in a van behind him there's nowhere to go
I had only one choice, not by me but decided
Must let go of the brake, swerve beside the van and behind him
Now the way I look at this, ain't the way I look at that
No matter what happens next, next may never last
Oh take a look at this, take a look at that
No matter what happens soon, soon will soon be in the past
Oh I know I'm moving fast but time is moving slow
Again my options through my head but still nowhere to go
And he's committed at this point as I begin to swerve
My windows getting bigger but I'm running out of nerve
With just inches to spare on either side of me
I looked into the van and I could see her eyes were green
And I could see a fear in her I could not see in me
When I took my eyes off hers, time was back to speed
Now the way I look at this ain't the way I look at that
No matter what happens next, next may never last
Oh take a look at this, take a look at that
No matter what happens soon, soon will soon be in the past

Tell Me the Truth
03:38

Crossroads, I've seen it before
Again again and then some more
These are the things that give and take
These are the times that make or break
Tell me the truth what do you see
When you look at the world, when you look at me
Oh tell me the truth what do you see
When you look at the world, do you see free
Searching for truth once and for all
Who, what, when and where it's not our call
Sometimes we have answers without any question
Are we even close or in the right direction
Tell me the truth what do you see
When you look at the world, when you look at me
Oh tell me the truth what do you see
When you look at the world, do you see free
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth
The intersection of wrong and right
If you don't look up, you can't see the light
Telling you which way you should go
Even though you know deep in your soul
Tell me the truth what do you see
When you look at the world, when you look at me
Oh tell me the truth what do you see
When you look at the world, do you see free
Tell me the truth, tell me the truth

Point of View
04:10

The sun pushes its way, over the horizon
While the moon tries to stay and keep the sun from risin
Or a push and a pull, or are they unrelated
Funny how our point of view can become so sedated
You can look at anything from which angle you choose
But you can never look away from your own point of view
They say the sun comes up tomorrow but it never leaves
Cause something hasn't gone away just cause you can't see it
Oh some see it leaving, fleeting from their lives
While for others it's arriving, just reaching their eyes
Oh you can look at anything from which angle you choose
But you can never look away from your own point of view
The sun shines down on us even when it rains
A vision of such grace and beauty but chaos still remains
The sun is setting our lives but somewhere else it's rising
Some are passing time around while some are just surviving
You can look at anything from which angle you choose
But you can never look away from your own point of view

The Writing
03:21
|

|
Growing herds throwing words
Is it all connected
Webs of lies and covered eyes
From the base erected
Oh it's hard to read the writing, the writing on the wall
When there is no light, there is no light at all
Foundations of the many nations
Written by survivors
Stories told of days of old
The past was burned in fire
Oh it's hard to read the writing, the writing on the wall
When there is no light, there is no light at all
From the ashes came the classes
First and then the rest
Fighting us amongst ourselves
As they take from the nest
Oh it's hard to read the writing, the writing on the wall
When there is no light, there is no light at all
Caught red handed, reprimanded
With a slap on the wrist
Money talks and bullshit walks
Class has been dismissed
