Life is for living, a ritual in the dark A passion for a new way, or a casual remark
Can you tell a difference, is it really something new?
An instinct for the future, but the future's overdue
Don't say to me, the privileged and elite All smiles and honest eyes
Don't say to me, the perfect young and wild Are waiting outside
Praying in emptiness, the faith you possess A world so small in your hands
Tonight, if we believe Then we can break this chain
Let it fall
Voice on the radio, pictures on the news Driven to distraction, flame to light the fuse
Wake up, learn and memorize, everybody chant Everyone's invited, but nobody wants to dance
Don't say to me, the privileged and elite All smiles and honest eyes
Don't say to me, the perfect young and wild Don't say to me, don't speak to me
I know you hear me, I can see it in your eyes
Teachers and believers, they stumble as they rise
Nobody's jurisdiction, I'm chained with no restraint
Money changes everything, such a dangerous complaint
Don't say to me, the privileged and elite Don't say to me, all smiles and honest eyes
Don't say to me, and all that I ask you to do is pray for me
Praying in emptiness, the faith you possess A world so small in your hands
Tonight, if we believe Then we can break this chain
Let it fall
Pray
Pray
Pray
