Die Young - Become The Change lyrics

The flames of youth most often burn blind and brief Our days are ours to seize until we're faced with reality Then we feel the hammer fall It's impact we cannot deny Can't you hear the ma**es call: "Get back in line, get back in line!"? Do you sense the heels of power casting shadows over you? Has that dread consumed your youth? What is "free will" if we have only one choice between two evils? Time has a way of bludgeoning the hope in our hearts We learn to settle for less even though we long for more And there, in the twilight of youth, alone with all your failures, Will it suffice to say "I make no difference anyway"? For us to achieve change we must move beyond the self And become that change ourselves Become the change yourself!
