Begininng
In the begining a long time ago
I could understand the fighting we did
We had to fight in order to survive
We were not our people but a purchase someone made
But now that we are free I just don't uderstand
The fighting and killing hasn't stopped but gotten even worse
That no longer have to kill us with a rope around our necks
We do it ourselves with a bullet in the back
What should have made us stronger and tired of the killing
Has not meant a thing a now and whole race of people are almost gone
Just look round time running down
It's time for peace and sharing in the world
Reach out now and help a brother up instead of pushng him down
Start seeng the glass as half full and not almost empty
Start thnking for yourself and don't blieve everything you see on TV
Just because it glitters doesn't mean that it is real
Let's get together as a people and build a bridge
Leavig no gaps open to give them excuse to tear us down
We were born from Kings and Queens
But we let one tiny boat ride
Break us apart and take our throne
We have been down for a long time
Don't you think it's time for us to get back up and stand our ground?
