I've been really trying to get some peace of mind
But the world just keeps on spinning & I'm starting to unwind
Teachers teaching children to go out and get their own
But they forget about their hearts forget about their souls

It's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power and wealth
Spend your life trying to break free
From this society

So I climb up to a higher place
Where I'm not blinded by tradition or ruled by any race
The system always pulls me down it can't stand to see me free
Throw me right back to the masses say that's where you're gonna be

It's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power & wealth
Spend your life trying to break free
From this society

I still dream a dream of humanity that somewhere a world exists
In softly turned phrases & melodies of bliss
Painted a picture of violets and blues
Stolen from the moment when I first encountered truth

It's hard to convince yourself
When your life's been gauged by power & wealth
Spend your life trying to break free
From this society

I've been really trying to get some peace of mind
