All this pain sourrounding me, hopelessness is all that I see now. Does it have to be this way? Brought up on hypocrisy, the seeds they sow don't last forever, they just fade away Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive We can make it if we only take the gift of faith We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith Take away my dignity take away my hope and my freedom, you got a world full of rage Don't cover me with apathy, don't buy and sell what I believe it, don't lock me in a cage In a world where no one's alone, trust should come easily Just reach out your hand, and I'll give you mine Chorus
