Noise around you
Moving cars
Side by side
But miles apart
Time is ticking
Running late
We don't know better
But wait
I - ay, know that there's a way (way, way)
And why - ay, don't we start today
Let's start today (ok, yeah)
There's gotta be a way
Everybody looking down, we should look up
How are we so connected, but we don't link up
There's life outside the phone, reasons to write more songs
Reasons to start more families, reasons to build more homes
We need touch, just as much as the air that we breathe
It's so clear, but we so distracted we do not see
Technology, is it a gift or just another curse?
Cell phones movin' fast, but the connection is worse
There's a lot of people hurting, inside they are really crying
But they are just smiling for the gram while they steady dying
And you know I ain't lying, if I am then I'm flying
But my feet still on the earth as I write these rhymes
I'm tryna change the world, with all my education
Running from capitalism headed for liberation
To spread to many nations, that's the dream that I'm chasing
So I keep praying for peace, change, and plenty of patience
I - ay, know that there's a way
And why - ay, don't we start today
Let's start today (ok, yeah)
There's gotta be a way
Wake up to chase your goals, wake up to break the mold
Wake up to live out the moments of life and what it holds
Find something you can be, no matter what it is
And don't you ever give up, remember your inner kid
Tune out the noise, don't just be a moving car
Recognize where you are and how you've come so far, yeah
Sometimes you've got to give yourself a hug
Just as a reminder to you that you deserve love
You see
Arms around me
Day by day
Why does it feel
So far away
Words are empty
Colours fade
Now we do know better
Yet all stays the same
I - ay, know that there's a way
And why - ay, don't we start today
