What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
And so it goes, i sit around & think about
2
All the pain exchanged just to get to now
3
Living down near the bottom it's become quite clear
4
That their aim is to keep me right here,
5
I hear what they say
6
But i can see & i see it's not that way
7
I want that day to come
8
I guess for me i can see it coz
9
My realistic is idealistic
10
Which seems to mean that im a tiny bit twisted
11
In this day and age, coz with hate they raise their youth
12
Whether wealth, or your race, or religion
13
Whole generations are brainwashed to pigeon - hole everyone else
14
And that belief is the part that keeps us apart
15
See i could see from the start
16
That it's hard when you're made a little different
17
But if i can make em listen, then maybe they'll be different, too
18
We can change it all, if you wanna try
19
We can make a difference on the outside
20
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)
21
So take a deeper look at what you've got inside
22
We can make a difference on the outside
23
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)
24
And so it goes, another new day, new phases
25
Everything looks different but nothing really changes
26
It's crazy, we're raised to fall in line
27
Yeah from a young age we're taught to hide
28
What's inside, so our need for expression
29
Soon becomes a dream with no means to express it
30
We feel trapped & can't see there's an exit
31
That's why a lot people swallow deep & supress it
32
It eats away on meaningless questions
33
Which feed, til aggression just leads to depression
34
& you drown in a sea of resentment
35
Or become another teen trying to plead for acceptance
36
I can't stand it coz i know it's wrong
37
And since i put it all together see i wrote this song
38
To let you know if you've been there, i've been there too
39
& let you know if you're still there, you will get through, it's true
40
We can change it all, if you wanna try
41
We can make a difference on the outside
42
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)
43
So take a deeper look at what you've got inside
44
We can make a difference on the outside
45
The time is now, for us to shine (in our life we can forever shine)
46
Shine like the sun
47
Shine, shine like the sun
48
Change it for the better, change it for the better, change it for the better today(repeat)
