A Quiet Difference
See this wholesome crowd
Tangled up, locking of arms
A new revolution occuring
Spoken words are becoming louder than a lion's roar
Trying to make a twist in this racist world
Trampling on the pavement while lasting out
Like a little kid's desire for candy
Protesting against discrimination
wishing for no more devastation
They're like warriors on a battlefiled
After the fight coming back a hero in some way
A star pupil that person is right there
But look a little closer
Back home Venom slithers out of their mouths
Paparazzi and reporters aren't knocking now
Joking and teasing are still said everyday
The words give the punches to the heart
For some reason the words and the name calling will never be noticed
You talk of making a huge difference up there
Well you just tore the lock of arms down here
So let us start down here where the little things will grow and grow
Please, I want to let you know
It doesn't matter how loud you scream or shount above
Because it's easy to join the band wagon of love
But its hard to live your own words daily
Showing your morals and standing up for what seems of nothing
Influence and change does not always happen through a microphone
