Local town hall, forum, debate
The things they say will quell the hate
The Senate’s fought since Rome, you know
And what do we now have to show?
They talk of change, they talk of new
They say the things we all want to
Yet when the hammer meets anvil
They stand, complacent, they all stand still
The words I write tonight are written from the heart, you see
The words I write tonight are sincere and meant for you and me
For far too long have humans let the few make rules for all of us
For far too long have humans let the privileged rule, it’s true and thus
We’ve created for ourselves a system that we need no more
Unknown rooms are never found until you unlock their locked door
Destiny is ours to take, it’s waiting right in front of us
Begging that we free it from the ones who call it treasonous
Times are changing, times of old
A time when we’re not ruled by gold
Our tree of life has roots, you know, roots that claim the underground
We shall rise from ash and dirt and realize that it’s us who’s crowned
Powers ours to seize tonight, if only we would take the chance
And so help me, I’ll lead the charge, for words will shatter any lance
