Promises of a brighter future were laid to rest long ago
The blood and sweat of our communities count no more
When our hope is gone where’s our inspiration to come from?
When legends our fathers built have been sailed to foreign shores
What can they pass down to us but memories of how things once were
How do we expect to learn when we ignore our histories passed down from hearts to minds?
(How do we expect to learn with hands over your ears? The future’s in what you’re unlearning)
How do we expect to learn believing words in books by writers paid to lie?
(Rewrite it all and don’t forget it. Rewrite it all and don’t forget it)
When our hope is gone where’s our inspiration to come from?
Our roots denied to us, our teachers lied to us
Where’s the opportunity, where is the security they promised us?
The world is in our hands, they said
It’s time to lose the lies they taught to us when we were young
This self-pitiful mindset must be shaken to move on
The world is in our hands, but not like they said

How long were you going to wait?
How long were you going to wait before telling me everything?
Clearing the mistruths, the falsehoods and lies
Forever waiting for more than a glimpse of the other side
(Forever waiting, waiting for you)
Separated from me by my sheltered life
(Forever waiting, waiting for you)
Why can’t I decide for myself?
(Forever waiting, waiting for you)
It’s time to decide for myself
Tell me now what else don’t I know?
Don’t turn away, you have opened the floodgates, opened my eyes
To a world that was hidden from me for so long
Reality may be grim but denial is more disturbing
Wake up, wake up
It’s time to decide for myself
Wake up, wake up
From my sheltered life
