about

Featuring scratches by Dj Tiny Tim of C.O.T.I.

lyrics

Is it the hate that tears us apart?
Or the lack of love in our heart?
Is it right to be wrong?
I hear mistakes are answers,
from them you grow to be strong.
How fleeting is eternity?
What is the meaning of time?
life is a sequence of mystery.
That only leaving can find.
What is a stranger
if human race is supposed to be one?
Racism is danger,
out of line no race can be won.
Why is it so easy to see weakness
and so hard to feel power?
It's often what seems most fearless,
that flimsiness is surrounding.
Everything is everything,
it all goes together.
Ignorance can feel freezing,
like the coldest of winters.
No one knows it all and every soul is a teacher,
its the richness of differences that paints the sameness of pictures.
We are all in the same pit or in a marvelous dream,
but we don't all have the the same choices,
that's all part of the scheme.
Change is permanent
and moving on is a slow process.
But how can we expect progress
when we keep battling for profit?
Why do we need this paper?
To drown our years in the waste?
The moments we could've savored,
all bound to fade in this cage?
Locked up like birds,
gradually losing our feathers,
I heard freedom was a word,
but i'm barely free to spell letters.
It's hell on earth, and we're guarded by devils.
What the fuck is this world, the only angels are rebels.
Now is it the presidents, politicians or is it police?
Maybe the evidence lies where people don't speak.
Where the silence dances and the pain is so loud,
where the violence is answer to something not allowed.
We all should be standing and no one should be bowing,
Face the strangeness like once said mister Bowie!
Humanity is crying while destruction is crowned.
Peace Lost in the making, waiting to be found.
