"When the going gets tuff, stand up or take the easy way out"
Long time ago, there was this king,
Pridefull and blind, it's a dangeourous thing
They made an idol of him...
Licking up, kicking down...
They surrounded him...
Just like we use to, just who we are...
We kind of do so, in whatever palace we're in
Then there was this unusual guy, and I named him D
He was different from the rest, and his heart was free
They told him, follow the stream now, make a shortcut to your dream
And win the world now, and lose your soul for this scheme...
So they through D in the lions den,
And they said he'll never be back again...
He'll be food for the system we've made
All he had to do was bow and obey...
Why do you always follow your heart?
Why do you always have to be so smart?
You're a fool, don't you know how to cope?
Join us now and slide down the slope!
You cannot please everyone all the time...
Don't kill the voice that cries on your inside...
Choose, choose to, choose, choose to let it speak
Don't deny it, let it be free, let it be free...yeah...
Some won't do and it dies...
Can't hear it anymore!
Just like we should do
Follow our hearts and they may take our lives
But they can't take your soul...
Your soul...
It's too expensive...
Look for a pioneer who dares to break new ground...
On a treasure hunt to find the right sound
Who won't take off and run do not escape, the lions den...
My friend, turn back again...
He's looking for someone to stand up to face the king
For someone who's not afraid of him
It's not so common these days
Where are those people
that just do not flow with the stream,
and make a shortcut to their dream...?
And in the early morning sun...
The king came down
After a sleepless night...
His conscience kept him awake
