Desperate
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door
This life is constant struggle
We have to fight just to survive
Searching for whatever makes us feel alive
I won't be another one to sit and watch the world burn
How can we say that we truly care, when we live so comfortably and still do nothing but sit and stare
Broken, beaten, bruised, defeated, tired, and worn
We do nothing for ourselves being so self-absorbed
Desperate
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door
This is a call to arms
This life is constant struggle
We're only focused on ourselves
Why do we ignore the ones who truly go through hell?
Every life has a purpose to serve
Every face has a name
So go be the change
We are responsible for those within our reach, so live out what you claim with words
Practice what you preach
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door
This is a call to the human race
Will you make a difference or just fill a grave?
What in the world are we waiting for?
No bliss in ignorance, thinking that less is more
What in the world are we waiting for?
Opportunity knocks, it's kicking down your door
This is a call to arms
No bliss in ignorance
