Reflections

Why must we all be reflections in a mirror 
Living our lives in the shadows of another's spirit
Walking a set path towards a well known destination
Why must chasing our dreams cause so much hesitation?
We all walk in the footprints of the past generations
Why not touch new ground, and shed new light
On the hidden treasures masked by the night
Our lust for money, power and control
Has robbed us of our love, children and souls
If we were to stop the madness for a moment
We would see that our fight for acceptance is trivial
Our visions are tainted with corrupt ideology
Let us join together, and stare into the devil's eyes
Let us do away with possessions, let us put our greed aside
Conformity shackles us in chains
If you followed your own rules, In what ways would you change?
The distorted reflections from the tainted mirror
Only send us down a twisted spiral, deeper and deeper
Step out of the shadows, and cast away the reflections
Cast your sight on your dreams, and not your quest for society's perfection
