I remember back, back in the day When the sunshine smiled as the children played, I say I remember when it was so pure Hearing melodies through the bedroom door Making beats in the basement Tasting all the magic harmonies and flows that we were chasing Turning fantasies into realities Oh we were lost in dreams We had all the keys And now it seems we can't pick the lock Kind of like a flat line, I need a shock What's behind the door Are we too scared to knock Did you pull the trigger Did you hear the gunshot Will we ever ever rise above Will we ever follow through in this path called love Oh Mama please take me back to my youth Where I never ever had any holes in my parachute
Why do they make this pill so hard for us to swallow Treating us as if we are ghosts, as if we're only hollow Oh yea but we sing today and we'll sing through out tomorrow Because our fire it burns, it burns up all your sorrow
Flip the tape deck, microphone check Turn up the volume, how loud can we get Show the man that we're not going under Never gonna sleep, never fall into a slumber No matter what the poison is you feed Any sickness oh we got a remedy Don't you know we are the roots that hold this tree Feeding the branches and all of it's leaves Love and truth shall always prevail Raise them high and we will set sail No ocean to wide, No mountain to high Our feet on the ground and our heads in the sky Oh yea we are soldiers of the pure Have you had enough Do you want more Read another chapter of this folklore You never sang a song like this before
