Against The Stream

Surrounded by beings full of doubt
Degrading to what my life is about
Of speaking freely of peace and unity
I find myself lost in a crowd
That speaks with no remorse of indulgence in vanity
So I've built these walls around me
In an effort to keep my dignity
In a battle with me against the majority,
I must refrain from fighting mindlessly
I'll swim against the stream,
Waterfalls can't stop me
Like the bamboo that bends in the wind but will never be broken
Opposing forces are strong
But nothing is greater than rage built up by oppression
Alone I stand
To teach corruption a lesson
