In my lifetime
I was freer to roam
no one could find me so far from home
now there’s walls and barriers
meant to keep them out
meant to keep us in
Be a gambler now
And play to win
Let’s turn the tables
Let's start again
Speak your truth
and don’t look down
don’t look down
Where you hold the frame
Will decide what you capture
let this moment go
and what will come after
It’s a musical chairs
and the music has stopped
this is your moment (2X)
Lucky fellas think
they own the world
I think it's time to break the news
That wealth is just a notion
They put in your head
Just to dazzle and confuse
Gardeners in the city
Gardens on the roofs
Coaxing life from concrete
dizzy with the thought
of all that freedom
and the power to decide
(End)
close my eyes
Sun upon my face
Lift my head /Speak my truth
fear dissipate
