Against the Tide
We've all got this feeling
Bred deep inside
That if we strive when we're young
Then our day will arrive
And the plans that we've made
From the lies we've been told
Well they mean nothing to them
Now that we're all bought and
Sold
What are we to do
Knowing that we might drown?
We find ourselves
Caught in the undertow
And it drags us out
To places unknown
Embrace the change
Don't be afraid
You will not die today
Don't be surprised
If you find yourself
Far away from here
Our day has arrived
For us to set aside
That which divides us
So we can recognize
The mistakes that were made
And the lives that were changed
Will we learn from the
Sins of our fathers
Before it's too late
Why don't we stand up and
Dare to ask the questions
This silent complacency
Defies all reason
And if nobody moves then
We're only treading water
And it plays to their strengths
As we sink further down
We find ourselves
Caught in the undertow
And it drags us out
To places unknown
Embrace the change
Don't be afraid
You will not die today
Don't be surprised
If you find yourself
Far away from here
From here
Sailing through the sea of potentiality
My eyes fixed in front of me
Consuming the horizon
Lies a storm from which I cannot escape
Floating along
Currently gone
Wondering what will
Become of me
It comes increasingly clear now
What has begun
Why am I
So afraid
To sever the ties
That bind
To let go
Of what's inside
My mind
And take this chance to
Tempt my fate cuz
Soon we've all
Got to die
Despite my fears
I am left here
So far from my home (Caught in the undertow, no way for us to know)
(Where to go from here) Living a life that no one can see, well
How could they know?
Embracing the doubt
Is the only way out
If you swim against the tide
Then you won't survive
This distance now embracing me
Severs my reality
With no place to go
I'm forced to forge my own
Destiny
Bred deep inside
That if we strive when we're young
Then our day will arrive
And the plans that we've made
From the lies we've been told
Well they mean nothing to them
Now that we're all bought and
Sold
What are we to do
Knowing that we might drown?
We find ourselves
Caught in the undertow
And it drags us out
To places unknown
Embrace the change
Don't be afraid
You will not die today
Don't be surprised
If you find yourself
Far away from here
Our day has arrived
For us to set aside
That which divides us
So we can recognize
The mistakes that were made
And the lives that were changed
Will we learn from the
Sins of our fathers
Before it's too late
Why don't we stand up and
Dare to ask the questions
This silent complacency
Defies all reason
And if nobody moves then
We're only treading water
And it plays to their strengths
As we sink further down
We find ourselves
Caught in the undertow
And it drags us out
To places unknown
Embrace the change
Don't be afraid
You will not die today
Don't be surprised
If you find yourself
Far away from here
From here
Sailing through the sea of potentiality
My eyes fixed in front of me
Consuming the horizon
Lies a storm from which I cannot escape
Floating along

Wondering what will

This distance now embracing me
Severs my reality
With no place to go
I'm forced to forge my own
Destiny
