How long will you listen to their false promises and lies?
In the midst of injustice what will make you rise?
Against these forces that threaten to tear us apart
During these "justified wars" the only victims are the people and their broken hearts
How long will you continue to watch and stand idly by?
Blood raining over our heads, engulfing us, as the innocents die
Staying in our little bubble, safe from the rest of the world
Then ask yourself who you are, is this how you want your story told?
How long will we sit and let these decisions be made for us again and again?
We continue to pick up our arms instead of our pens
Why give every problem we face with the same solution that doesn't work?
This is the time to take responsibility for the duty we've shirked
How long will it take for us to realize
That we must never accept their lies
That it is time to stop sitting and time to rise
To end this corruption, or wait till the next person dies?
