Million Miles Away

Living in these dark times, it’s hard to stop these dark rhymes

It seems that we have lost before we’ve even crossed the start line

Metaphor for human race what’s in store for heaven’s sakes

Watching ourselves dissipate and even worse participate

In our own demise think about it read between the lines

Damn we must be blind to see the signs we’re almost out of time

And reality might not always be what you might hope

Sometimes you’re really feeling like you’re walking across a tightrope

Above a sea of uncertainty and certainly it hurts worse to be

Coerced because of loss of freedom hurts worse than a third degree

Burn let the ashes fall yearn pick up the pieces y’all

Gotta learn to hear the call turn before you hit the wall

Sink or swim make it count

Trust your friends when in doubt

Make amends take a vow

Opposition take them out

Never let nothing get between you and your hope and your dreams

We’ve suffered long enough now it’s time they hear our screams

If we could start all over a million miles from here

Could we eliminate the hate inside and all our fears

Or would you keep it going our self-inflicted hell

We gotta reach for peace before history can repeat itself

We got do the math, find out the final score

I swear we’re knock knock knocking up on heaven’s door

And as the world turns we get closer to the fate

It really makes you wonder what’s the purpose what’s at stake

What are we meant to do besides living and breathing

Why must we try to live outside our means and stay daydreaming

Material things and money seem to be our obsession

And when it isn’t that it’s killing with billions spent on weapons

We gotta coexist which means we gotta focus this

Hope for utopian bliss despite our newfound hopelessness

Back then religious beliefs is what kept us separated

Now it’s the power struggle for financial domination

Sins of the father continue passed on to generations

Maybe one day we can unite as one a sovereign nation

Take for what it is but don’t take it for granted

And always suspect the unexpected on this unsuspecting planet

If we could start all over a million miles from here

Could we eliminate the hate inside and all our fears

Or would we keep it going, our self-inflicted hell

We gotta reach for peace before history can repeat itself
