Soulless Souls

      I’m not making any excuses
And today I wouldn’t change a thing
My past and my street wasn’t paved
In Gold, nor did the bird of happiness sing

I never had ambition, I was told I was
Worthless and so it became true
I believed those words and I never
Strived to break through

So therefore there were no goals
Except to survive for another day
Life passed and my dreams, well
My dreams just faded away

The people around me, just passed me by
They all lived for success
They all achieved the American Dream
But they also had the means of access

They all had visions of a goal and the
Passion and the soul and heart
My soul was lost, my heart was broken
In the race, I was left at the start

Sometimes I feel that I would do anything
To have another chance
But I know if I did, it would have changed
My music and my dance

But to have anything, to have a goal
A chance to shine, so bright
To see the world with a different view
To see it in a whole new light

And it saddens me to see this generation
Of stone cold hearts with vicious goals
Of spreading hatred and rip, rip and
Destroy in their soulless souls
