Revolution For the Forgotten


Before you try to silence me, judge me

Before you treat my story with negativity

Remember it ain't in my nature to be this afraid

But I can't help it with all the illusions I've made

 

Each person, everybody, everyday

All walk as if they ought to know the way

But deep inside, no matter how hard they try

Is a kind of saddness, but no one knows why

 

Subjects of both anger and hate

We don't realize our mistakes until it's too late

We scold and overlook and abuse

And don't care who we step on or use

 

Sins they are, and sins they may be

You can't treat others with such negativity

So cherish today the people you love; your friends

And live today with no regrets or loose ends

 

You don't know which day will be your last

So live without hate, but love in your past
