A business man curses the weather
Each new day, there's money to be made
Certain all the elements are against him
Construction hindered by the driving rain
There are cultures on the brink of madness
All their knowledge slipping down the drain
Unaware of elements set against them
When prophets trade for profit, wise men go insane
There are those that cry for purity,
and insist that blood makes a difference
But when challenged over humanity,
they wear masks of ignorant innocence
All the lies for which our lives are sold
drive us further away from the heart
while all truths that should remain untold
can tear a world apart
There are things around us
that will never be the same
There are things about us
that keep us free from blame
There are truths outside us
we can never rearrange
But there is power in us
to start to make a change
They say the land is what divides us
but even continents can collide
It's our differences that unite us-
the only difference is what's inside
They say it's the oceans that divide us
but we've sailed across the seas
It's just a matter of seeing the forests before us
and looking past all the trees
Change, make a change, change, start to make a change
Change, change, change, start to make a change
