You know we move

Any direction we travel

There seems to be a mountain

in front of me

I don’t know if I can get around it

I feel like I should just go through it

I don’t even know why it’s there

Maybe it’s protecting me

or maybe it’s my imagination

Either way

it’s in my way

And for good reason:

That doesn’t seem fair

**

You know we don’t have to choose

The mystery we unravel

There seems to be a forest

All around me

I feel like I can soar past it

I could also just go through it

I don’t even know why it’s there

Maybe it’s protecting me

or maybe it’s my imagination

Either way

it’s in my way

And for good reason:

I feel so aware

**

Everywhere I turn

Something is in the way

It’s kind of confusing

Because it’s such a clear day

*

Is it something from our past

That turns the skies overcast?

Or is it all for the future?

I will not take a detour

The present

means so much to me

I think we should save

Every one we can

**

I’m trying to help whoever I can

With everyone in the plan

But people put up barricades

Based on other perceptions

that they have

Stereotypes,

Assumptions and their own greed

That even they don’t understand

Cause misjudgement of my effort

That’s officially out of hand

So I’m blocked from helping

As I work to take a stand

**

You know we can’t lose

If we are fair in the battle

There seems to be a river

Running past me

It is the season that matters

I feel like I should just go through it

I don’t even know why it’s there

Maybe it’s protecting me

or maybe it’s my imagination

Either way

it’s in my way

And for good reason:

We shouldn’t be scared

**

Everywhere I turn

Something is in the way

It’s totally true that

We each live our own day

*

Is it something from a class

That makes the day go slow or fast?

Do we all need a new cure?

I try to keep my truth pure

Calm reason

means so much to me

I think we should save

Every one we can
