I wanna be better than oxygen So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak At the knees, I wanna speak louder than Ritalin For all the children who think that they've got a disease I wanna be cooler than TV For all the kids that are wondering what they're going to be We can be stronger than bombs If you're singing along and you know that you really believe We can be richer than industry Long as we know that there's things that we don't really need We can speak louder than ignorance 'Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet
On and on and on it goes The world, it just keeps spinning Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe So close my eyes and start again anew
I look for heroes in my search for identity But none of them seem to be quite what they want me to think They're put together like parts in a factory That builds personalities to sell them on TV I go and meditate for days in my closet To shut out these prophets who show me the ways I should be Do you remember the forgotten America? Justice, equality, freedom to every race? Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy Makeup and hair to the truth behind every face Look around to all the people you see How many of them are happy and free? I know it sounds like a dream But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night I know it's hard to believe But it's easy to see that something here isn't right I know the future looks dark But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light
On and on and on it goes The world, it just keeps spinning Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe So close my eyes and start again anew
If I'm afraid to catch a dream I'll weave you baskets And I'll float them down the river stream Each one I weave with words I speak To carry love to your relief
On and on and on it goes The world, it just keeps spinning Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe So close my eyes and start again anewTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
