The tides of time are timid, slow and still The people lack desire, passion and will The people are in boxes and all think quite the same The fates of people are decided through a twisted game The people all are happy with the way things seem, After all, their struggle is living the American Dream Although the dream is pleasant and it may feel right The people begin to stir, as if on a cold, dark night The mind may stir if only to shiver from the breeze, It keeps a person stirring, unable to sleep with ease With the subtlety of the breeze the thought will shift, As the people awaken they’ll be free to find their gift The tides of time have begun to churn The people are waking and begin to learn They start to think free and stretch their mind They are searching for answers of their own kind. They work not for themselves, but strive to help the whole A world of people living together, each playing their own role Each person working together despite gender, traits or race Just people helping people to make the world a better place The gusts of change are roaring, tearing through the plains The people wake up and are furious to find themselves in chains They yell and shout in anger for their captors to set them free They almost give up hope until they realize they hold the key They break their chains and free their minds to wander and explore Each person setting out to discover what they love down to the core

The Tides of Time
The tides of time are timid, slow and still The people lack desire, passion and will The people are in boxes and all think quite the same The fates of people are decided through a twisted game The people all are happy with the way things seem, After all, their struggle is living the American Dream Although the dream is pleasant and it may feel right The people begin to stir, as if on a cold, dark night The mind may stir if only to shiver from the breeze, It keeps a person stirring, unable to sleep with ease With the subtlety of the breeze the thought will shift, As the people awaken they’ll be free to find their gift The tides of time have begun to churn The people are waking and begin to learn They start to think free and stretch their mind They are searching for answers of their own kind. They work not for themselves, but strive to help the whole A world of people living together, each playing their own role Each person working together despite gender, traits or race Just people helping people to make the world a better place The gusts of change are roaring, tearing through the plains The people wake up and are furious to find themselves in chains They yell and shout in anger for their captors to set them free They almost give up hope until they realize they hold the key They break their chains and free their minds to wander and explore Each person setting out to discover what they love down to the core
