TURNING IN THE GRAVES
TURNING IN THE GRAVES
FAMILY ALL MOST HAVE
THE FAMILIES THAT CREATE NEW FAMILIES
WITH NO THOUGHT PROCESS
WE’VE BECOME THE ANIMALS
WE HUNT EACH OTHER OUT
LOOKING FOR WHAT EVER WE CAN TAKE
FROM THE OTHERS
YET MOST ANIMALS DON’T WORRY
MOST ANIMALS DON’T CARE ABOUT A DOLLAR
MOST ANIMALS DON’T PAY A PENNY
OR A DOLLAR
THEY JUST BECOME FAMILIES
FOR A VERY SHORT TIME
SO WHO ARE THE REAL ANIMALS
WE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ANIMALS
AND SOME DO HAVE FAMILIES
AS SOME DO NOT
EVERYTHING IS ABOUT WHAT YOU’VE GOT
BUT, WE ARE AMERICA
WE ARE THE FREE
WE ARE WHAT OUR FOR-FATHERS
WE ARE WHAT OUR FOR-MOTHERS
BELIEVED
WE STRUGGLE MORE NOW
THAN THOSE THAT DIED, BEFORE US
WE LIVE BECAUSE OF THEIR DREAMS
WE DREAM BECAUSE OF THEIR DREAMS
WE TRY TO BELIEVE
YES WE ARE AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
BECAUSE OF THE GOOD THAT WAS DONE
WE HAVE PROVEN MANY THINGS
WE ARE THE PEOPLELIKE THE PEOPLE IN THOSE GRAVES
WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT PAVES THE WAY
ALTHOUGH SOME ROADS ARE WON
SOMETIMES THERE ARE TOO MANY ROADS
YES WE ARE THE PEOPLE
WITH SO MUCH TO CHANGE
WITH SO MUCH TO CREATE
WITH MORE OF A RANGE
ALL IN A FAMILY
LIKE THE PEOPLE BEFORE US
WE HAVE A DREAM
THE MATTER OF THE FACT
IS THE MATTER OF THE TRUTH
AND THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
IS
THOSE TURNING IN THE GRAVES
