Album: Awaken (2009)

Our Own

Today is the day for redemption.
Not alone.
Hold your own.
You'll find the strength.
The struggle just to stay alive, to maintain in these times.
We are the future.
We must change. Change.
Step one in the solution.
Our voice. Speak truth to overcome.
The enemy is ignorance. Silence is powerless. Fight.
The struggle pushes forward. Awake. Aware.
No escaping the real-life suffering, civil unrest.
We have the strength inside us all.
The smallest change can spark a revolution.
Give us your poor, tired, huddled masses longing to be free, but hope collapses.
Violence in the streets. People with nothing to eat.
The struggle continues on.
When we reawaken our senses, focus our eyes away from all of the distractions, all the devices used to keep our minds suppressed.
When we reawaken our senses, we see a vision.
When we reawaken our senses, a clear vision of true hope not found in any politicians words or antics,
but a real hope that is within our spirit, the freedom of our minds.
When we reawaken our senses, we see it all begins with a simple change in our perception.
We must awaken our compassion, awareness, and our Love.
If we find the strength inside, our hope will never die.
