We have the words to change the nation

 

Voice that will bring to life a whole new creation 

 

Within us are our ideas, thoughts and feelings there lies in its own station 

 

Yet we abuse it 

 

We focus on material things, Brand sneakers, clothes, and everything we consider “lit” 

 

Not noticing on the many gifts and talent we have, oblivious to our self, on its goodness we sit

 

This generation saddens me 

 

No moral values, respect, nor dignity, what was taught to us many years ago not gone, 

 

but hidden can’t you see

 

So much potential we have in ourselves 

 

So much books on the floor, yet we fail to fill them in their shelves

 

Potential without a drive, is blank, it’s not an addition, nor subtraction 

 

But a division of our true selves, we must look within us and seek to find where exactly it dwells 

 

People, within ourselves is the only way we are guaranteed to excel

 

We have the words to change the nation 

 

A voice that will bring life to a whole new creation 

 

Hands that will help each other through life’s own tribulation 

 

Together, we can create a population that will forever hold our reputation 

 

However, there is a but 

 

It all starts within us.
