[female vocal] I put away the childish things many years ago To survive a world and changing times to meet the status quo With hours long the deadlines loom and never seem to cease Longer days and sleepless nights, just makes it all increase We need a break, a slower pace from the dictates in the towers To find a way to slow them down, and strip them of their powers. Their bottom-line is poison, the greed never seems to fade Like an enemy that’s been watching, waiting to invade. They control the leaders that run a nation with money that they spend The bribes the favors the constant lies and all of them are friends. Through complacent eyes and too much trust this is what we got Society declines, while elites climb higher, its the truth behind the rot. [Orchestral piece] [harmonies] I must find my way back to a simpler time Not the fairy tales or nursery rhymes But meaningful walks on an empty beach Where things aren’t abandoned and nothings out of reach A mountain forest on a trail I spend alone reflecting back, to all the things I’ve known Is it status quo, a waste of time or just a simple lie Duty bound means nothing, the first time I ask why. Now I’m standing at a waterfall it drowns out all my sorrow Praying things are going to change, I hope they change tomorrow. We just hang on to make it through each and every day I won’t give up, i won’t back down, there is a better way I put away the childish things many years ago To survive a world and changing times to meet the status quo With hours long the deadlines loom and never seem to cease Longer days and sleepless nights, just makes it all increase So standing at this waterfall that drowns out all my sorrow Things for me are going to change, I’m gonna start tomorrow.
