Oxygen - Willy Mason
I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when youre
Drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think
That they＇ve got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t v
For all the kids that are wondering
What they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you＇re singing along and you
Know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there＇s
Things that we don＇t really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every
Time our eyes meet
On and on and on and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i＇m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew
I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means
More than to take
I wan＇t to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you＇re
Really taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten america
Justice equality freedom to every race
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Make up an heir to the truth behind every face
That look around to all the people you see
How many of them are happy and free
I know it sounds like a dream
But it＇s the only thing that can
Get me to sleep at night
I know it＇s hard to believe
But it＇s easy to see that something
Here isn＇t right
I know the future looks dark
But it＇s there that the kids of today
Must carry the light
On and on and on and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until i＇m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew
