 I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're
drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that
they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering
what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know
that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's
things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time
our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again
anew.
I wanna see through all the lies of
society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means
more than to take
I wan't to live beyond the modern
mentality
Where paper is all that you're really
taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten
america?
Justice, equality, freedom to every
race?
Just need to get past all the lies and
hypocrisy
Make up and hair to the truth behind
every face
That look around to all the people
you see,
How many of them are happy and
free?
I know it sounds like a dream
But it's the only thing that can get me
to sleep at night
I know it's hard to believe
But it's easy to see that something
here isn't right
I know the future looks dark
But it's there that the kids of today
must carry the light.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again
anew.
If i'm afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and i'll float
them down the river stream
Each one i weave with words i speak
to carry love to your relief.
I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're
drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that
they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering
what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know
that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's
things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time
our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again
anew
