Boys and girls unite, combine our powers
More than a revolt- a revolution
Reclaim the future that should have been ours
Cue the sign to begin our solution

Ask questions, learn answers, see what went wrong
Find where our path once so clear took a turn
Why must the wait to enlightenment prolong
When now is our time, while we can still learn

The light in the distance, once bright now dim
Bring back the days of innocence and youth
At present, survival chances are slim
Turn our bent path from the dark to the truth

Learn from the past and repeat no mistake
Or else our own future is what we break
