we are young

we are young

we still see the same world

we see the poverty

we see the depression

we see the broken

we see the lost

we don't have many years to back us up

we are independent

we don't want to learn from your mistakes, we want to make our own

we want to see everything for ourselves

not from stories 

we have eyes to capture everything

ears to hear the music the world makes

and to hear the cries of the lost

and the hearts to bring them back

not back to us

not back to a church

not back to reality

but back to love

we are young

but we see everything

and feel every emotion that rips through us more than anyone

we fall hard

we love easily

one glance and you would have us in a heart spin

beating hearts

fluttering eyes

we may be oblivious to many things around us

the price of milk doesn't matter

who buys our land doesn't matter

we see the bullies, we feel them the hardest

we are either for them or against them

we don't sit on the fence

we have such passion

even us, 

the ones who haven't been places

seen things

only heard

and only told

but we are young

but we are as powerful as anyone else, and maybe more so

our hearts beat with passion for justice and for the world

we are more of the world

because we are the world

we are young

we are free

we are dreamers
