Decided faces and unfriendly smiles Staring with eyes that just cannot believe Living in squalor they hardly exist The fruits of their efforts are swallowed with tears The past was good the older men say Remember the life then those were the days Riding through fantasies with carefree grace Living was easy no worries to face Now I'm searching for another escape I wanna be free just to think and to write No obstructions or people to hate Freedom to wander with truth In my veins Most of the people have given up hope They strive for something they don't understand Contented to watch the world pass them by Not caring or hoping for love anymore What of the younger people today What do they think what do they wanna say Are they happy with things as they are Will they do something or go much too far Their thoughts and their words are important to them Speaking their minds they're immediately crushed Confused In their hearts... but love in their hearts (Doing just nothing but) thinking they must But now there's a light it shines very dim It needs someone to kindle the flame Freedom will come but it's still far away But we will have all that we hope for someday
