What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I wanna be better than oxygen
2
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
3
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
4
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
5
I wanna be cooler than T. V.
6
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
7
We can be stronger than bombs
8
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
9
We can be richer than industry
10
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
11
We can speak louder than ignorance
12
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
13
On and on, and on, and on it goes
14
The world it just keeps spinning
15
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
16
So close my eyes and start again anew.
17
I wanna see through all the lies of society
18
To the reality, happiness is at stake
19
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
20
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
21
I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
22
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create
23
Do you remember the forgotten america?
24
Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
25
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
26
Make up an heir to the truth behind every face
27
That look around to all the people you see,
28
How many of them are happy and free?
29
I know it sounds like a dream
30
But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night
31
I know it's hard to believe
32
But it's easy to see that something here isn't right
33
I know the future looks dark
34
But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light.
35
On and on, and on, and on it goes
36
The world it just keeps spinning
37
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
38
So close my eyes and start again anew.
39
If I'm afraid to catch a dream
40
I weave your baskets and I'll float them down the river stream
41
Each one I weave with words I speak to carry love to your relief.
42
I wanna be better than oxygen
43
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
44
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
45
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
46
I wanna be cooler than T. V.
47
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
48
We can be stronger than bombs
49
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
50
We can be richer than industry
51
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
52
We can speak louder than ignorance
53
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
54
On and on, and on, and on it goes
55
The world it just keeps spinning
56
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
57
So close my eyes and start again anew
