Transcendentalism On Prom Night

We are ready for a change, we are ready for something new
We are ready, just give us something to do

I once knew a man, wiser than I
He passed me these words as the world passed me by:
"Solitude will bring us all together
But you attitude, it won't survive the weather"

We will walk on our own feet
We will work with our own hands
We will speak with our own minds
A nation for the first time
Throw tradition by the wayside
And don't forget your friends who died
Those who made the sacrifice
A nation for the first time

We are ready for a change, we are ready for something new
We are ready, just give us something to do

I once saw a child, young and naïve
He left me these words as I stood up to leave:
"Solitude will bring us all together
But you attitude, it won't survive the weather"

We will walk on our own feet
We will work with our own hands
We will speak with our own minds
A nation for the first time
Throw tradition by the wayside
And don't forget your friends who died
Those who made the sacrifice
A nation for the first time

We are ready for a change, we are ready for something new
There's a river running through
There's a river running through us
There's a river running through
There's a river running through us all

We will walk on our own feet
We will work with our own hands
We will speak with our own minds
A nation for the first time
Throw tradition by the wayside
And don't forget your friends who died
Those who made the sacrifice
A nation for the first time
