Lyrics
I remember people on the stoop
Bangin out a melody
Adorning it with poetry
Rapture in the chaos of us
Bleeding out our lives
In stream of conciousness and ecstasy
Holdin on to moments
Holdin on to some things
Once temporary
And finite
Important
Impassioned
Incredible
And beautiful
Inspiring
And real
How did we become so self absorbed and so distracted
From everything that matters
And everything that feels
Worthy of the air we breath
Trusted by the world we leave behind
For our children
And their children
We deserve to be something
We deserve to be more
We can make a decision
We kick open that door
Stand up for a solution
Stand against your fear
Be that revolution
Be the now and the here
Here we are today and things have changed
I hardly recognise the world
Too many of us a lack a basic empathy
So i just wanna practice what i preach
To everybody when i meet them on the street to shake a hand
C'mon take my hand
Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you
Do unto others as you'd have others do unto you
Now i'm not religious as a rule
But i believe in something greater
Greater than the you and i apart
I believe in everyone of us united as a people
Together there is nothing we can't overcome as one
Together there is nothing we can't overcome as one
We deserve to be something
We deserve to be more
We can make a decision
We kick open that door
Stand up for a solution
Stand against your fear
Be that revolution
Be the now and the here
We deserve to be something
We deserve to be more
We gonna make a decision
We kick open that door
Stand up for a solution
Stand against your fear
Be that revolution
Be the now and the
Be the now and the here
Be that revolution
Ohhh
