lying awake
authority zero
with no reason to turn around and put it all aside yeah!
while drowning in all of their sorrows!
and i sure as hell did not need your permission
and i was never looking back
and i'd never known what's next
but as the days had gone by
new visions of a world started filling my eyes!
with no reason to turn around and put it all aside yeah!
while drowning in all of their sorrows!
years go by as we start to see
so many generations torn by poverty and greed
so many whining that their lives are oh so bad
but far better than so many
becoming intoxicated by all of the madness
and all of the pain that they've been through
with no reason to turn around and put it all aside yeah!
while drowning in all of their sorrows!
there's just got to some other way
those people are dying today
there's just got to be some other time
that they are going to?nd
there's just got to be some sort of progress
some other way they're going to know
there's just got to be another means to an end
here's to hoping that it will show!
like some people in our society
so what do we do when it comes down on you
cries ring out as a chime for awakening
taking the time to listen up
maybe showing interest could show them light of day
well it's a pretty?ne line as community paces
stepping up to the edge daily different cases
(oh can't you see their faces coming around
different places with so many face down)
another taste of what's real
lost in time with no reason to turn around and put it all aside
while drowning in all of their sorrows
with no reason to turn around and put it all aside
while drowning in all of their sorrows!
