lyrics

Twelve A.M. and I am sitting down on this floor.
Got a pencil in my hand and my mind on the world.
I’m gunna write down these words and burn a hole in this paper.
I’ll let out blood sweat and tears until there’s something to play for the world.

All these people in this world with their eyes and their ears closed
Block out what they don’t know when there’s nowhere to go.
We are creatures of our tried and true.
We’re always staying the same.
We’re never trying the new.
We are afraid of change.

So I’ll sing this song for the people of the world
That are planning. Planning to right the wrong
And take these words to start up a fire and watch as
It burns all over the world.

Yes I’ll play this song for the people of the world
That are planning. Planning to stand up strong
And take these dreams to start up a fire and watch as
It gleams in the eyes of the world.

We’ve got to take a look at each other and see
What the other man sees.
It’s not that hard to lead a different life.
Let down your guard and set down that knife
And be what’s right.
We’ve got to love each other.
We must embrace each other.
Understand what the other man dreams
Weave together your seams!
