Your life so just be your self cause your somebody special cause someone loves your life, life, hey hey i can see you shining shining i can see you shining with light, with light hey hey i can see you shining shining i can see you shining bright
In america today, people seem they lost their way
They don't know they're wrong from right
Something something just aint right
Cause on tv in magazines all i see is violent things
Killers here and killers there killers seems to be everywhere
Where did all the healers go, i don't know i don't know
Maybe all the killers killed them yo carlos lets save the children
Lets build their minds up & build their spines up
Teach em how to stand proud teach say it just say it loud
