21 Years

(album: Heart To Believe - 2005)

I read it in the paper, I see it on TV
"Hate" written on the front page, blood running down the screen
Another dude is lying pretending everything's alright
While innocents keep dying and children learn to fight

What the hell is going on?!
I wanna know, wanna know tell me!

21 years of hope behind me
21 years it's war that I see
21 years and nothing's changed
21 years who's to blame?

I'm ready to surrender, my head bangs against a wall
The small fist in my pocket won't change the world at all
I feel alone and helpless, my ideals fade away
Trust and hope is gone and there's just one thing left to say

But I don't wanna give up. So I'll speak up to you:
"Together we can change it, believe in me it's true!"
Stand up and join the good side! I try to make you understand
The only thing that stops me is that bullet in my head
