Whatever happened to the choices that we thought we had?
When we were younger we were happy but - now we're sad.
Everything was always simple - either black or white
Maybe cause no one ever dared to ever shed the light
On our innocent minds, that couldn't take up the real world -
Now we wake up in the real world -
Now we're so scared of the real world -
That nobody dares to change it -
We're changing sadness to anger -
And he goes home and blames her -
And their children are learning -
From violence and hurting -
That this is the answer -
Changing from happy to sad to changing to anger.
That's not the change we need -
To show your children -
They are the world, they are the future, and they are the difference
Between this world - and theirs
Between the ground floor - and the stairs
They can't move up -
If we bring them down -
You don't need to grow up -
To make a change -
One random act of kindness -
Works like a chain -
People pay forward -
And we all lean towards -
A better place for us -
But it's never enough -
Because there's always someone suffering
