Slap the saint
who blessed the day
tomorrow became a holiday
No one cares
about the veil
that hides
the innocence of hypocrisy
So kick the curb
with absurd words
that leave you confused
and nameless

Drink the bottle
that tells the tales
with loose lips
in drunken stupor
Slice the tube
that feeds the view
of mistruth
and reckless candor

It’s a wonder
A wonder
Anyone listens
to the kitten’s meow
that sounds from your conviction

Lose the fear
that keeps you near
to a fire that only flickers
Scream a roar
that leaves you hoarse
with might in your echo
Make the change
that etches your name
Across the history
of this moment

Be
Be the force
that lights the torch
In action and in valor
Use this minute,
in this time,
to exercise your power

- you can be a man of honor.

Shame the dream
That makes it seem
That change is only
Fleeting
Rewrite the prose
That keeps us fighting

Against
Life
Against
Hope
Against
Peace
Against
Love

Make change
With a penny

To convince the masses
That change is
Action
That comes from within

Begin
Begin the revolution

Right now
Today

Lose the fear
that keeps you near
to a fire that only flickers
Scream a roar
that leaves you hoarse
with might in your echo
Make the change
that etches your name
Across the history
of this moment

and

Be
Be the force
that lights the torch
In action and in valor
Use this minute,
in this time,
to exercise your power

- you can be a man of honor.
