Turn on the news, the world’s in flames

The screen is filled with hurt and rage

The noise and hate invades your brain

Alone in the dark with so much pain

When you can’t find the words

And don’t know what to say

Look inside yourself, you are not to blame

Find your voice, speak your mind

Don’t let apathy leave you behind

Stand up for the truth, step in to the light

Leave the mistrust, the darkness on the other side

You know that love conquers hate

So open the gate

Join the debate

The riot in your head is just your conscience

Telling you that this is the time
