I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you’re drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children
Who think that they’ve got a disease
I wanna be cooler than TV
For all the kids
That are wonderin’ what they’re gonna be
We can be stronger than bombs if you’re singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry as long
as we know that there’s things that
We don’t really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
cause we speak in silence
Everytime our eyes meet
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again
I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality
Happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wanna live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you’re taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten America
Justice equality, freedom to every race
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Makeup and hair to the truth, behind every face
that look around to all the people you see
How many of them are happy and free
We can be richer than industry as long
as we know that there’s things that
We don’t really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
cause we speak in silence
Everytime our eyes meet
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew
If I’m afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and I’ll float them down the river stream
Each one I weave with words
I speak to carry a love to your relief
If I’m afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and I float them down the river stream
Each one I weave with words
I speak to carry a love to your relief
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew
