"He only earns his freedom and his life
who takes them everyday by storm"
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust
take what you feel inside of this room and break away
I'll bring the feeling of this moment when I leave
envision what life could be if move beyond our comfort and ability
we'll rot in this tomb until we start to move
no one is handing "change" our way
facing each day with so much to say
and in the absence of action even our screams are worth something
what we want we must create what we risk will be regained
what we'd a**ume we must forsake what's been destroyed...
what have we done? what do I know? how far are you willing to go?
never restricted by who I am supposed to be
looking beyond all that I can see to make this a movement again
instead of only a scene do you realize what that means?
what we make of this energy is everything
but in the absence of passion our screams are worth nothing
what we want we must create
what we risk will be regained
what we'd a**ume we must forsake
what's been destroyed can be replaced
too many years spent "screaming for change"
and I see now that what remains
is the time I give and the chances I take
in the way I live and the choices I make
