Hiding tears

far beyond your years

try to take a stand

holding all command

empty souls

remain in control

outward beauty here

still it's all you know

market deals

losing their appeals

now your pallet's changed

look for other meals

production short

take it all to count

wanting victory

but you come up short

responsibility is not a word you want to hear or read

when will priorities change



Associations, proclamations, giving ways to rule the nations

but while convincing and evincing

we're leaving out the one we've been missing



You're always talking loudly

you're only talking to yourself

you look inside for answers

when they'll be found in someone else

do you hear what i'm speaking

or am i talking to myself

i never caught the vision

until i looked high



Tradition's views

causing you to lose

in the other ones

still you've one to choose

the time is near

for a tried career

invest in truth

while the pictures clear

what is the plan, stan, to make a boy into a man

when will our attitude change-change



This universal, controversial, message plays a fine rehearsal

but we invent a monument

instead of showing what He meant



(chorus)
