Ghosts

I remember back, back in the day
 When the sunshine smiled as the children played, I say
 I remember when it was so pure
 Hearing melodies through the bedroom door
 Making beats in the basement
 Tasting all the magic harmonies and flows that we were chasing
 Turning fantasies into realities
 Oh we were lost in dreams
 We had all the keys
 And now it seems we can't pick the lock
 Kind of like a flat line, I need a shock
 What's behind the door
 Are we too scared to knock
 Did you pull the trigger
 Did you hear the gunshot
 Will we ever ever rise above
 Will we ever follow through in this path called love
 Oh Mama please take me back to my youth
 Where I never ever had any holes in my parachute
 Why do they make this pill so hard for us to swallow
 Treating us as if we are ghosts, as if we're only hollow
 Oh yea but we sing today and we'll sing through out tomorrow
 Because our fire it burns, it burns up all your sorrow
 Flip the tape deck, microphone check
 Turn up the volume, how loud can we get
 Show the man that we're not going under
 Never gonna sleep, never fall into a slumber
 No matter what the poison is you feed
 Any sickness oh we got a remedy
 Don't you know we are the roots that hold this tree
 Feeding the branches and all of it's leaves
 Love and truth shall always prevail
 Raise them high and we will set sail
 No ocean to wide, No mountain to high
 Our feet on the ground and our heads in the sky
 Oh yea we are soldiers of the pure
 Have you had enough
 Do you want more

 You never sang a song like this before
