Oxygen |
| 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 wondering what they’re going to 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 every time our eyes meet |
| On and on and on it goes |
| The world it just keeps spinning |
| Until I’m dizzy, time to breathe |
| So close my eyes and start again anew |
| 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 really 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 |
| Then look around to all the people you see |
| How many of them are happy and free? |
| I know it sounds like a dream |
| But it’s the only thing that can get me to sleep at night |
| I know it’s hard to believe |
| But it’s easy to see that something here isn’t right |
| I know the future looks dark |
| But it’s there that the kids of today must carry the light |
| On and on and on it goes |
| The world it just keeps 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’ll weave your baskets and |
| I’ll float them down the river stream |
| Each one I weave with words I speak |
| To carry love to your relief |
| 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 wondering what they’re going to 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 every time our eyes meet |
| On and on and on it goes |
| The world it just keeps spinning |
| Until I’m dizzy, time to breathe |
| So close my eyes and start again anew |
