A World Gone By

Picking up all the pieces
Of a shattered stone
If you know you can reach it
Go it alone

Separate all the leeches
To find your tone
The ones beneath us
Just haven't grown

It's my desire I can do much more

Water into wine
Miracles on their way
Invoke the divine
That's a way to pray

Don't bite your tongue
Or smoke out your lung
Reach for the stars
While your soul is young

It's your desire you can do much more
It's your desire you can do much more

Let me tell you a story
A word for the wise
About the men behind the curtain
And their evil lies
The men in suits that buy their power
And keep you blind
Control the men you elect to office
And ignore your cries

A world gone by
A world gone by
A world gone by
A world gone by

So they sit in their mansions
And plot your demise
While you provide the labor
And watch your time fly by
They have the nerve to convince you
To pick a side
To support your masters
Puppets in disguise

A world gone by
A world gone by
A world gone by
A world gone by

So now that I've got your attention
Here's a little advice
There's no need to capsize your dreams
And compromise
So rise to the occasion
And free your mid
For there won't be a tomorrow
Without you and I

A world gone by
A world gone by
A world gone by
A world gone by

Every day is a new day
To live your truth
Don't wait till tomorrow
Or you'll waste your youth
Look beneath your eyes
And you'll realize
A colored future you must visualize

It's our desire, we can do much more
It's our desire, we can do much more
It's our desire
It's our desire
It's our desire
We can do much more
