We were born of this world as free as a bird We gave ourselves these chains, this cage, and these words Do we suffer, or do we survive? Can we live, or must we die? I fear the worst for this earth How do we get this crooked path on course? For all mankind, for all of time We could start a spark The world's in flames and we're blowing smoke Feeding a fire and burning up hope I'm afraid of everyone I'm afraid of what we've done Can our rights overcome our wrongs? Can this be our revolution song? We could start a spark Don't leave the world in the dark You hold freedom in your hands In your heart and with your friends So stand up, make a difference count Cause if not you, then who will dig us out
