Chorus

AmFire descends from on Ghigh in the shape of a Flion G

AmBurn the sacrifice of Gpride and ride on Mount FZion G

AmFire descends from on Ghigh in the shape of a Flion G

AmBurn the sacrifice of Gpride and ride on Mount FZion G

 Rub Amme the wrong way, taGking the highway

 Rubbing Fsticks together but your Gfire's man-made

 CapitaAmlize on hot air, soar lGike an airplane

 Yearn to Frise in the sky quick high like cocaine

 False Gpride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain

 BabyAmlon's buildings raise like flames

GDrowning in their champagne

 ExFplosion pulled the pin in the Ghand grenade

 Soul Amstain blowing up, in your Gown domain

 Fire Fcrackers ohh and aah, but they Gnever maintain

Bridge

FFires burning, Gflames are dancing

 Don'Amt burn the house down LorGd

FHeavenly fire Gonly resides on an Amaltar made from the Gground

Chorus

AmOne pair of Geyes

 But see Ftwo different Gthings

AmOne person Gcries but the Fother one Gsings

AmYou walk around like everybody Gowes ya something

 Take what you Fgot, thank God for Gall that life brings

 The Ampoor man has it all but not conGtent with anything

 While the Frich man's hands are empty but he's Gsitting like a king

Bridge

DmBackpack's getting heavy, moving Gat a steady pace

 Carrying Ambricks on your shoulders and leEmad around your waist

 Making Dmway, run in haste, there is Amno time to taste

 What you Emate, we should be grateful got a plateful

Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain

Chorus

Youth

Am C x4

AmSome of them come now, some of the running, some of them Clooking for fun

 Some of them Amlooking for away Cout of confusion

 Some of them Amdon't know where to be, some of them Cdon't know where to go

 Some of them Amtrust their instincts ,that Csomethings missing from the show

 Some don't Amfit society, their inCsides are crying low

 Some of them Amteachers squashed the flame, 'fore it Chad a chance to grow

 Some of them Amembers still glow , them chaCrcoal hushed and low

 Some of them Amcome with hunger suppressed, not fed themC feel the death blow yo

Chorus

FYoung man conEtrol in your hand

 Slam your Amfist on the table, and make your demand

 Take a Fstand fan a fire for the Eflame of the youth

 Got the Amfreedom to C/Bchoose, you better Cmake the right Dmove

FYoung man, the Epower's in your hand

 Slam your Amfist on the table and make your demand

FYou better make the right Emove

DmYouth is the engine of the world

DmYouth is the engine of the world

AmStorm the halls of Cvanity

AmFocus your Cenergy

 Into a Amlaser beam streaming shattered Clight unites to pierce

 Between the Amseams and it seems the Cworld open peering

 The children Amsee rapid fire for your Cmind

 Half a truth is just a Amlie they rub me the wrong Cway

 They say their way or fall beAmhind, seventeen disconnect left out

 The coCncept as to why, there's a spiritual emptiAmness

 So the youth them get vexed, skip class and get Cwrecked

 Feel with beer and cigarettes, to fill the hole in their Fchest!

Chorus

DmYou got the freedom to choose, better make the right move

You got the freedom to choose

 Basic deEmception and futilD/F♯ity

 I stand with inGtegrity, sneak to the roof of Bthat building

 Don’t want nobody Emhere to see me

 They’re saying that I’m living in a D/F♯fantasy

 But I believe if GI did keep and I bleed in Bsincerity

 Won’t you Emutterly remove the D/F♯cloud hanging over me

 Won’t you Gwave that decree in the Bshade of your wings

 Shelter Emme from the wicked who have D/F♯plundered me

 From my Gmortal enemies, won’t you Bshield Emme D/F♯

 JEmerusalem, if I forget you,

C Fire not gonna come from me tongue

 JeGrusalem, if I forget you,

DLet my right hand forget what it's supposed to do

 In the Emancient days, we will return with no delay

CPicking up the bounty and the spoils on our way

GWe've been traveling from state to state

 And them Ddon't understand what they say

Em3,000 years with no place to be

 And they Cwant me to give up my milk and honey

 Don't you Gsee, it's not about the land or the sea

 Not the Dcountry but the dwelling of his majesty

Chorus x2

EmRebuild the temple and the crown of glory

CYears gone by, about sixty

 We were Gburned in the oven in this century

 And the Dgas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me

 I will Emnot lie down, I will not fall asleep

 And they Ccome overseas, yes they're trying to be free

 EGrase the demons out of our memory

 CDhange your name and your identity

Intro

 Slap me CDaft, we sat down in the back of the class

 To seize Emknowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass

 But I'm Dmearly to a arrival beatbox, you got raps?

 Meet me Emon the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback

 No one Cclapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class

 But my Emflag got captured and I fell between the cracks

 My Dmtool for inspiration turned into a handicap

 No Emmatter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps

 Those Cwhipper snappers, they got trapped old chap

 They Emlost the way, they never had the right map

 NeeDmded a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back

 So I Empicked for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle

 Put the Cpedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals

 I'll Emnever forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels

 Roaming Dmthrough the high land, young bucks invincible

 Echoes Emin my brain, if kids report to the principle

Chorus

FSubstance dulls the mind

 Traife wiDmne clouds the heart

 You can't Amsew a stitch with one hand

 While you're Gtaking it apart

FBright lights might look nice

 But they Dmsure won't make you sharp

 You can't Amsew a stitch with one hand

 While you're Gtaking it apart

 Yeah, misty Cmorning and my mom's a mess

 To make matters Emworse dog my pops is stressed, life is a test

 Make the Dmgrade or catch an F, now death is all that's left

 To pEmonder I wander off hoping to catch my breath

 And Chold it, mold my memories from untold scripts

 And roll Emup in a tornado twist, now I'm certain

 There's a Dmpertinent reason I'm on this earth

 Seasons change in white Emplains, but we remain alert

 When new school years apCpear fools fear for a failure and crawl away

 In Emtears, I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach

Dm We walk the halls with a grimace

 Yeah they gossip in Emgroups, I try to mind my business and tell the truth

 For Cinstance

 I listen, see it all with basketball court Emvision

Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction

 We lean Dmback in the calmest position

 And embrace the Emhonesty found within our tension, What's good?

Chorus

Riff

AmTrapped in the elevator of your mind

Is it real, what will you find behind the door

Your imaginations put you in a bind

Around you there's a cloud of gloom

Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room

Can't see outside of your universe

C No more war, there won't be anymore hunger

Em No jealousy, not even competition

 Let Dmgo, release, you hold the keys

EmTime we evaporate into the breeze

CWe are nothing, we are something

 Let Emgo, release, you hold the keys

 It's Dmtime we evaporate into the breeze

 We Emare nothing, we'll be something

CWelcome to the desert of my soul

 You can Emstay if you like, there's room for one more

Dm There's room for one more Em

 Crush my G/Bearth, seeds A7sus2grow, garden D/F♯start to grow

 You know you've Amgot to rise, though you C7Mlike to flow

 You can't keep Emstaring D/F♯out the winGdow

 Earth, C7Mwater, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher

 Spark igG/Bniter, fighting A7sus2tired stay D/F♯wired, enlighten loads

 Fly alAmive, weep wail chant, C7Mcry, let out a sigh

 EnergEmized, give D/F♯my last dime, life Gshouldn't pass me by

C7MRise, to the occasion
