A Broken Silence – What Are We Waiting For 0

many are stained with souls corrupt
hope they locate change when old enough
a message that i got when growin up
drink and smoke pot til ya throwin up
so is the world gettin colder nah
then i look where them soldiers are
wonder why i just wrote that bar
where we livin is poles apart
with open hearts i see people buildin
a bridge to the world to feed some children
new light lead some millions
fight evil, be resilient
role models saying ‘grip that gun’
we marchin to a different drum
drugs will bring you a fist of funds
but make your journey a twisted one
just begun to see dutys change
seek truth not pursuit of fame
some choosin to fuel them flames
but they lookin like fools today
if the youth decay focus dies
time to retrain, mobilize
them old ways have been pulverized
we got a new table to roll that dice
inner demons like a poltergeist
had us livin so cold as ice
but now kids got global eyes
hopes alive

conquer fear, new ideas, see these kids, pioneers
for future years, visions clear, what this is
this is hope, this is hope
new ideas, see these kids, pioneers
for future years, visions clear, what this is
this is hope

conquer fear, new ideas, see these kids, pioneers
for future years, visions clear, what this is
this is hope, this is hope
new ideas, see these kids, pioneers
for future years, visions clear, what this is
this is hope

like they sing in liverpool you'll never walk alone
any girl any fella from a broken home
anyone neglected in a warring zone
lost their abode and was forced to roam
still they spoke in the warmest tones
kept hope as a cornerstone
from these gifts we ought to grow
i quit spittin them morbid poems
like cortisones to stop the hate swellin
still see pain in locked away felons
still need change and lots of rebellin
use brains we got to be headin
in the right direction, right progression
minds can be quite perplexin
my confession, life is testin
and positive thought fights depression
like songs of micheal read the Bible
read Koran, heed disciples
love is vital in the eyes of Budda
and even scribes from the tribes of judah
one word to describe the future
hope
