Beyond recognition - We'll survive Cause were down with the people And that keeps us alive It's mind over matter - and the beat goes on Respect one another for now and when I'm gone
No need to deceive - we'd rather be real You needn't believe us if that's how you feel I've given the best of the realist in me In waiting for something or someone to see What we're made of
False premonition to cast a doubt But there's always something That we should live without A shock to the system - cross the line State your opinions and open up the mind
You're wasting away - year afer year No promise to take time to notice you're here A subtle persistence and time is the key In waiting for something or someone to see What we're made of
