Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 THE GRAND REBELLION The war within keeps us living thin, day to day we pray for salvation and a cure Governments burn what we have painfully earned while shouting Let Freedom Ring Every day you and I live our pain silently cry as we watch our children buy into the image of cultures ideal They try so hard to be a part of something important that they never know what it is like to be an individual And we wake in the morn feeling tired and worn hoping this day will be better than the one before Yet we know in our hearts someone already closed that door Like you I know suffering and pain of being a dollar to short and a day too late I too know of the dead end job that we must suffer through so our children can eat I know of not fitting in and not being left out of the lonely hearts band Yet I dream of a difference that can be made if we just let go of our pride and say we are through with these lies we all seem to propagate We hide in our houses and lie to our friends because on the outside it must look like its all pretty and great in our lives But you just have to know in your heart of hearts we really aren’t that different you and I I think it is time we took a stand I think it is time we just said no I will not hate for you I think it is time to be the people we want our children to be To command respect because we live with morality To be love So if your with me please say it If your willing to make that change please do this with me I am your friend I am you with a different face Your kids are my kids and if you think I’m fooling come drop them off at my house and see what I mean Its time to stop being poor Time to stop hurting alone Time to stop the ruling of our governments that are in our best interest Because all that is happening is government rape, suppression and control Its time to step up and stop this madness You are my friend I hurt when you hurt and we are all hurting We have forgotten just what it is to be human And so what can we do? We can do so much if we just try to think together what to do We have to recognize the liars and evil people here to harm and not let them in We must openly love them and let them go We must write a list of things we need to change We must then change them It isn’t so hard if we work together you and I It isn’t so scary if your holding my hand Look at this world I mean LOOK Is it home to you? Is it important enough to change? We need to change the TV programs that corrupt minds We need to change the radio stations that play music aimed at evil We need to ban the subliminals used to change our minds and make us like things that are killing our bodies and minds We need to stop the secret governments from hurting us We need to stop the chemical spraying of our skies We need to stop buying the products that are made by kids barely old enough to roller-skate We need to stop buying the food that kills us and gives us disease We need to just say no I know it might feel hard to do, be hard to do but is that café latte really so important enough to have in the morning? Are those Nikes, instant frozen dinners, and SUV as important as your world, your family, you? What if we all sold our suburban homes and built homes that wouldn’t clutter our world? What if we insisted our kids be taught the truth of the world? What if we all did with less so we had more? You’re my friend We bleed the same blood We shed the same tears We can change the world if we just spoke to each other If we just stopped running and started listening It isn’t fair to our kids It isn’t fair to us to live like this We embrace evil because it is almost all that is left Its time we embraced each other It is time we just accepted each other for who we are So you’re a Jew, he’s a Christian and I’m just here saying it doesn’t matter We must simply believe in nothing and know the truth Religion is killing us Did you hear me? Religion is killing us Its just another means to label, define, separate, control Let it go Know love Know truth Know God or don’t God finds us all at some point no matter how we define God Know its ok to be anything even a purple penguin because secretly on Monday I wanted to be one too Be kind Be love Be my friend We can change this world you and I and you and you and you Its what the evil ones are afraid of That you and I will actually say no to the hate and lies That you and I will actually talk That you and I might begin to think and gather That you and I will lay down our differences and come together isn’t that their fear? isn’t that why this madness exists? To make us forget that you and I are the same person with a different face That you and I are friends That your kids are my kids and my kids are your kids And that above it all we need to just love and say no We will not be your puppets We will not work for you so you can get richer We will not be denied We are love Will you speak up and join me In this grand rebellion?
