How can I make a difference When all the odds are stacked up against me "Why bother, why even try?" I hear it so often I could start to believe But I'll never stand back and let those words take away my strength Or watch crisis turn to convention Because out of sight means out of mind to you Drowning in ignorance Absorbed by fear, this is a culture of disrespect and I stand By the side of those we've condemned, All around are those we've condemned Truth denied to those Shattered lives of those We've condemned ourselves to live in a world we don't understand As molds of the marketplace and pawns in the same game There's no escape from a value system Where drugs and sex are bait to the masses The life we're sold leaves us with nothing Refuse to accept it Our lives are worth more And at least I'll make an effort to let my voice be heard In a culture of disrespect and I stand By the side of those we've condemned All around are those we've condemned Time and time again I wonder if I'm the only one who feels lost within our system With no mind, no life, no words, no voice No soul on trial My back against the wall But your dream means nothing to me And I will watch it fall
