So much push to be a stranger, brick by brick the walls come down
Once so strong now open-minded, drank the water now you've drowned
Compromise disguised as freedom justifies white flags you've flown
Black looks gray and gray looks tasty, but you'll reap the seeds you've sown
And you're selling your future on the alter of today
Oh the things that once were priceless now you're giving them away
Well can't you see just what you're losing, soon there'll be nothing left to save
Oh won't you please open you eyes, give me your hand…let's walk away
Well you're balanced on the fence between what's wrong and what is right
Doesn't take much to surrender, takes a lot to stand and fight
But you've made choices, taken chances, now you feel you've lost your way
Made your bed with sinful sheets and in that bed you'll have to lay
And you're selling your future on the alter of today
Oh the things that once were priceless now you're giving them away
Well can't you see just what you're losing, soon there'll be nothing left to save
Oh won't you please open you eyes, give me your hand…let's walk away
