I wanna be better than oxygen So you can breathe when you’re drowning and weak in the knees I wanna speak louder than Ritalin For all the children Who think that they’ve got a disease I wanna be cooler than TV For all the kids That are wonderin’ what they’re gonna be We can be stronger than bombs if you’re singing along and you know that you really believe We can be richer than industry as long as we know that there’s things that We don’t really need We can speak louder than ignorance cause we speak in silence Everytime our eyes meet
On and on and on it goes The world just keeps on spinning Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe So close my eyes and start again
I wanna see through all the lies of society To the reality Happiness is at stake I wanna hold up my head with dignity Proud of a life where to give means more than to take I wanna live beyond the modern mentality Where paper is all that you’re taught to create Do you remember the forgotten America Justice equality, freedom to every race Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy Makeup and hair to the truth, behind every face that look around to all the people you see How many of them are happy and free
We can be richer than industry as long as we know that there’s things that We don’t really need We can speak louder than ignorance cause we speak in silence Everytime our eyes meet
On and on and on it goes The world just keeps on spinning Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe So close my eyes and start again anew
If I’m afraid to catch a dream I weave your baskets and I’ll float them down the river stream Each one I weave with words I speak to carry a love to your relief
If I’m afraid to catch a dream I weave your baskets and I float them down the river stream Each one I weave with words I speak to carry a love to your relief
On and on and on it goes The world just keeps on spinning Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe So close my eyes and start again
On and on and on it goes The world just keeps on spinning Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe So close my eyes and start again anew
