lyrics
We could be so much more
Than the sum of our failures
We could be so much more
Than a divided room searching for something more
We could be so much more
If we had something worth fighting for
We could be so much more
I tried to find the words to speak for a generation
With too many voices and nothing to say
We all live in the illusion that we have choices
We only have what they haven’t taken away
I tried to find the courage
To live another way
I tried to find the strength to walk the path they tried to hide
But my heart always knew the way
We were supposed to be different
Thought we had that in common
Empty minds for simple times
Sing simple songs for even emptier minds
We could be so much more
Than the sum of our failures
We could be so much more
Than a divided room searching for something more
And I have to wonder
How could you come so close
But choose to stay behind?
How could you glimpse the truth
But prefer to stay blind?
What kind of cowardice
Does it take to know what needs to be done
But refuse to have a stake
In being a part of something
That could have been
Should have been everything we are not
We were supposed to be different
Thought we had that in common
Empty minds for simple times
Sing simple songs for even emptier minds
The weight of an empty promise
Clasped inside of a clenched hand
The shame of so much wasted potential
Settling for less, I will never understand
We could be so much more
Reach beyond what you can see
Distracted youth, so easily amused
Scared of the truth, complacent and abused
Content to be perfectly ordinary
You can fall short but I refuse
