Why Can’t We?
Why is there so much difference?
Why is there a barrier?
Why can’t we build bridges of acceptance?
Why is there so much war?
Why is there so much destruction?
Why can’t we hold hands and love one and another?
Why is there so much discrimination?
Why can’t we make this world a beautiful place to live in?
Why is there so much hate in this world?
Why can’t we make this world a wonderful place to live in?
Why can’t we change ourselves?
Why can’t we change the world?
Why can’t we be kind to one another?
Why can’t we do it for the sake of humanity?
Why are there so many questions?
Why can’t we answer them?
Why can’t we?
Why can’t we?
Rise
At first, it may seem hopeless.
But when you are ardent,
Nothing can get in the way of your victory.
Don’t doubt at yourself
If you’re tenacious
The sky isn’t the limit for you
Things may go wrong, as they will
Don’t lose your confidence,
Believe that you have victory running in your veins.
If there is a way, there is going to be flames
Well, you’re bound to get burnt
But be fearless because these burns will enlighten you.
People may abandon you, thinking you’re crazy
But once you reach the finish line,
You will feel the glory of success
Don’t let fear take you down.
These scars will haunt you
But to learn from it is the lesson.
Be the flames to the fire,
Waves to the ocean, storm to the wind.
Because one day, you will look back and cherish.
When it’s too cold, don’t look for a companion.
Though the storm may rage on,
Be strong and fight until it plays out.
Run till you feet can run no more,
Sing till your lungs can take no more
You never know when the sun comes up and it’s too late.
The fire is perilous
But once you learn to conquer the blaze
You can rise like a Phoenix.
