New Day

Left behind all our highs Moving forward, let out our sighs Sorrow created, space with No regrets, just free yourself No longer a slave to your own thoughts Different pressure, makes different stones One door opened, another got closed You aren't your thoughts, you're so much more Once upon a time, there were the stars and sun We swam the beautiful oceans and surfed just for fun Laid by the light of the moon We didn't know of the ways of the unkind and cruel But then community leaders started, starving their people for greed Races started seeing color Not by the kindness we feel Our voices of justice and reason Silenced by the noises of money And as changing seasons As time passes, we have forgotten We don't know who we are anymore Keeping up our appearances While we are starving our souls Have you forgotten to be bold? Do you still remember how to roar? Stand for our future children No we are not afraid anymore Do you remember how to roar? Then come on, show me Let me hear you roar, let me hear you roar If we have to go down in flames Let the wind blow the ashes away The state that carries all of our pain It flies, it flies then it doesn't one day Rise high, above the clouds Surrender to your conscious sound So many thoughts and aspirations We travel through with uttermost patience Ta da da dum da dum Ta da da dum da dum Ta da da da Bravery is passed to us from our parents as children Pushing all the boundaries labeled as the forbidden Being seen, as the country's saints not the sinners Winning a competition and being seen, as a winner But instead seeing someone in need And inviting them to join to you for dinner Only when we shout loud, unafraid Can they hear our screams We should never be afraid to speak up Surpassing our truth with our fears We must not raise, children who are afraid This is how our future leaders are made! A lot is at stake, let our past be washed away by the rain May we start over, from the beginning From where we know came Looking up to the uncompassionate and insane Instead going back to the beauty Of simplicity and the complexity of the plain If we have to go down in flames Let the wind blow the ashes away The state that carries all of our pain It flies, it flies then it doesn't one day Rise high, above the clouds Surrender to your conscious sound So many thoughts and aspirations We travel through with uttermost patience
