Yesterday I was lonely
Lonely and strange
This day is more
Than I could ever hope for
Hold my love in a whisper
Let it go in the wind
I make life more real
In all that I sing in all that I sing.
Kids on the street trying to change the way that people think
Bicycle trains filling up car lanes
They say it's all about reaching a critical mass
And the change will role like a tidal wave
I wish I knew what I could do
To make you feel excited too
We're gonna change this world around if it's all we do
'Cause if you think the way it is is ok you're not seeing it through
The more that I look around the more I see that needs to be changed
If you're not trying to make something better, you're just in the way
All the pain in the world from what I can see
Is the fear of isolation in your own identity
All the while your joy is just waiting there for you to find
That freedom is just a state of mind
So why don't you live what you dream
There is no time to waste
Why won't you say what you mean
And maybe then I'll see your face
Change comes so slowly when all the world is in denial
When I step back from it I have only time to stop and breathe a while
Blindly we march on as all the world comes crashing down
This country like a circus is still parading around
Blindly we drink the last drop and try to take some more
Blindly we consume everything, without wondering what it's for
I'll sing until I have no more to say
Until the noise of the circus fades away...
