We all need something to believe in,  
because i'm looking around and all i can see 
is dysfunctional families, broken hearts, and lost dreams 
we've forgotten the meaning of truely believing 
and sometimes, things get so hazey  
we forget how to see with our hearts instead of our eyes 
Sometimes things get so crazy 
we forget the difference between love and pain. 
there's children out there getting beaten till they can hardley breathe 
there's people out there killing till the streets become rivers of blood 
all because we've forgotten... 
There's nothing left for us to believe in anymore 
there's no such thing as good and bad anymore 
everythings gotten so messed up lately 
that the lines we never would even dream of crossing 
as slowly being erased,  
think about it,  
do you have anything to believe in?  
 
(Don't wait till its too late,  
take a stand  
while we still can,  
and fight hopelessness)
