Change

 
The light at the end of your tunnel needs to be maintained,
You can't let it be stained by their beliefs are better than your beliefs
And you can't agree to disagree
Because their wrong

It's not the strong who've gotten lazy
It's just that your vision is a little hazy
You're not sure what it is you want
But what you've got, is all you need.

Falsed greed.

For every hypocritical church-goer
Who won't walk past the beggars
'Cause they can't spare a dime
F*** them, I don't talk to God because i ain't got the time

And it struck me as strange,
Every time i walk past someone who stopped to ask me
"Hey, can you spare some change...?"

Because yes i can.

But you see,
I don't carry change around in my back pocket,
I don't wear it around my neck on a chain,
In some locket

I keep change in the tip of my pen.
And it seeps out every now and then
In spurts of angry ink that make me think
Maybe the writing on the wall could use a little revision

Stop trying to calculate the difference between people
People don't need division
Gotta stick together
Gotta love each other

Father,
Brother,
Sister,
Mother,
Uncles,
Cousins,
Aunts

Forget about the chance,
The cheers, The jokes,
The jeers.

After 2000 years
You'd think we'd know by now
We will only find equality in our number of tears

Based on:
• Size
• Sex
• Race
• Religion

Justice isn't justice,
It just is.
I can't change it
You can't change it
So we've just gotta try and rearrange it.

And i could offer you this miracle,
A chance to see what,
A chance to see what i see
To see the way people see me
Because if seeing is believing
And you see what i see
We wouldn't want to see anymore

And you might just laugh,
And you might just scoff
My bones are made from sticks and stones,
And names just piss me off

You can't be concerned with whatever it is they've got
The only reason they think they're beautiful,
Is the same reason they think you're not

You have beauty beyond measure
You are a treasure
Entrenched in this earth
You can't let strangers determine your worth
Rise and shine.

Game,
You play
You win
You play
You lose
You play.

Rise and shine
The world is a window that holds a sign
There's help wanted out there
Somewhere

If you are playing to win,
The first thing you have to do is
Apply within.
