I expected nothing And from that I gained something You expected everything You did not get what you wanted They expected nothing And somehow they gained their freedom Others expected everything The people disappointed them They changed their expectations And re-inforced their disappointment The people lived in reality And created a community Leaders expected something They became disappointed The people lived true The people lived true
