want to fight But they've relentlessly progammed you your entire existence We tried to make a difference but have we actually achieved Have we put up any obstacles or just helped to succeed Have we constructed any bridges or just built wall our beliefs and our ideals accomplished anything at all Have we ever caused our leaders to a single thing Have we ever been a threat or puppets on a string Have we wasted all of our time painting pictures for the While we've created isolation have we changed a mind Have we had enought sense to from our mistakes Are we prepared for personal sacrifices no matter what it Are we willing to work together putting differences Or is compormise too much to damaging our pride Do we have enough hope to still trust in someone else Do we have the compassion to fight the problems that don't directly affect Have we ever stood a chance or have our efforts been Have we bought into their lies of what they us to believe It still is your option what to choose
