FORGET THE DOWN Lyrics

I feel there's something stirring Tho' the urge is buried deep And now the gap gapes wider The time has come to leap We meet and touch our hearts We must not fall apart Hampered by eternal values FORGET the down-the down on us Give us the bullets now we've got the gun We've learned to walk-give us the chance to run We're slaves of time-we must accomplish now We've earned our place now we refuse to bow Too many take too little and are happy not to learn But a handful of the strong can teach the tide to turn Detractors infiltrate-Defeat them Then await-future sees our faith fulfilled FORGET the down-the down on us Their hunger is a different kind The hunger of the blindest of the blind Shout them down-if you don't shout I will Your silence leaves a space for liars to fill Instead of walking sideways come and take a step with me the light is on but your eyes are closed the time has come to see we stand where others fall come with us when we call share a fire they won't extinguish FORGET the down-the down on us That attitude will always make me sick They'll never know the things that make us tick Forget the fuss pessimists make Its time this party was awake Awake! AWAKE!!!
