I can not go back and change
My transgressions against
My fellow man in
the moments of yesterday
No more than I can ignore
the aggression that lingers
in my heart still today
There are moments in time
When we must decide
our own destinies
And let fate not only
Determine our tranquility
We are not defined by
the mistakes we continually make
But by the changes we eventually make.
If we don't grab a hold
To what we believe in
What legacy and what state
Do we leave our children in?
If we can not recognize
A need for a stronger nation.
Then left behind
are our ancestral traditions.
If you can not grasp the concept
That we are not alone
And percept
That we have already failed
our younger generation.
If you could just summon up
Enough courage
To put a little of
The weight of the world
On your shoulders
Could I hold your mind in my hand
And get you to see
Within my message
IS a need of urgency
We must be determined
To make a impact
even if it is just briefly
If you could just connect
With me on some level
And bare the burden
Of our actions.
To redefine the perceptions
Of your heart
If we are to move mountains
Than we must not confine oneself
To the limitations of our abilities.
