Losing Arrogance

"Losing Arrogance"


There's no reason to budge

Nobody has the right to judge

What another is believing 

The memories we're retrieving

From somewhere in outer space

Long amongst the human race

Biting down on the forbidden fruit

One chews and the other follows suit

Displaying anger as a result of denial

A new name given to defile

For some, it's not the same

Pointing at someone else to blame

Causing a shift in the cosmos

Pausing the rift that the star shows

When it is revealing its light

A glimpse of hope in the middle of the night

Left without thoughts to destroy

No wars or troops to deploy

Faith remain when all else is left behind

Existence is harmonious when love is blind

But we run around using plagiarized excuses

Finding new ways to see what a lie produces

Seeing where it will get us

Playing poker with the devil and he bet us

Faced against the odds of losing

Stepping on the faces of the lives he's using

To get everything he's ever wanted

Desires are the focal point of the taunted

The best tool is the ability to grant a wish

Give us the fish rather than teach how to fish

People can choose to do what they please

It takes all kinds to make the world a disease

A Heaven on Earth or, so it seems

Running with nightmares, walking away from dreams

Maybe it is what you make of it standing in this place

How you feel when looking at yourself in the face

Searching for a simple place to belong

Trying to forget about where we went wrong

Start all over to see what it brings

Into a black hole or beyond Saturn's rings

Anything could happen if we had this chance twice

Learn from the decisions of men and mice

Change our ways or retain our arrogance

Delivering the gift of our preference

To bring us down or lift us up

Face the facts and expose the corrupt

Admitting to our mistakes

Decide once and for all where the cycle breaks

The sun can rise on a day brand new

Shining a light where the doves once flew
