Adolescents Inspiration
Head in the clouds, a dreamer, they said
“Figure it out before you’re dead”
It came across not a question but a taunt
“What do you want?”
I want motivation, I want to aspire
I want the knowledge I desire
To measure up, to inspire
What have you got?
There’s gotta be more
Than a constitution
Restitution
Retribution
There’s gotta be more
Than an institution
Mind pollution
Absolution
I want to believe in something I can see
Something I can touch, someone I can be
I want the freedom that was stolen from me
What do you want?
I want words like freedom to carry real weight
Not something mass-produced, served on a plate
Something earned that no one can take
What have you got?
There’s gotta be more
Than instigation
Contemplation
Reparation
There’s gotta be more
Than agitation
A declaration
An inspiration
I want to believe [x4]
I want to believe in something I can see
Something I can touch, someone I can be
I want the freedom that was stolen from me
What have you got?
[x2]
I want to believe [x3]
I want to believe in an inspiration
I want to believe [x4]
An inspiration
