Something About Forever

Let's go back to the beginning To this place between awake and dreaming Where nothing is impossible Nothing is an obstacle Where life is simply beautiful Where hope is something more than a phrase, empty clichés More than what you beg for in your hollow prayers And as the future is taking shape We need this hope, to guide us the way Instead of reasoning about possible outcomes Predictions once made are now useless, forgotten They have been leading us on for so long But I will be fighting until I am gone Because the footprint that one day I will leave Must leave behind something positive So I keep on chasing these dreams And must hold on to the things in which I believe Because I must believe What will I leave for my children? What kind of world do I want them to live in? What do I take? What do I take? What am I giving? Why the fuck isn't anyone listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening to what they are telling you Questioning what they are selling you? Why the fuck do you think I am yelling at you? I see you take for granted Draining our entire planet Our way of life will be the death of us The death of us Ask yourself what you want to leave? Because I see no future in this The future is not ours to keep It belongs to our kids and their kids Been standing by, ignorant Have we done a thing to make a difference? This is about forever Today defines the future What are we waiting for? One day, somewhere I want to realize that I left this world A better place Knowing my future children Will be safe That they will know peace That they will know only peace What a world Is this really what we are going to leave For our kids, our grandkids? What a world We have spent a lifetime On worthless meaningless bullshit What a world We are still taking things for granted What a world Instead of seeing the beauty of all this What a world What a beautiful world this could be What a world What a beautiful world this could, this could be What a world What a beautiful world this could be What a world A beautiful world I will leave I promise you that No matter what I will take care of this With all of my heart This is all we have And probably all we get This is about forever This day defines the future And if this is all we will get here There must be something about forever --- Something About Forever - A Point of Protest
