Let It Go

For too long we've scoffed at the actions of the rest of the world
But what do we have to show for all our arrogance?
Division, mistrust, and betrayal plague us just as badly as it does them
And when it's time for action
When it's finally our turn
Will we let petty difference divide us like it has time and time again
Or will we be able to rise up and let it all go?

We stand on the brink of leadership
Just to inherit an urban waste
The fruits of their of their failure
Are thrust in our mouths
But we can't stand the taste!
Do we turn our backs on the mess they've made
And blame it all on their greed?
Or do we stand together proud and tall
Where they failed can we succeed?
Where they failed will we succeed...
GO!

Problems aren't our doing
But we inherit them at birth (Hey! Hey!)
This suffering's not a legacy
But a chance to prove our worth
So we fight against oppression
As we pledge to do our part (Hey! Hey!)
Revolution's not born of bullets
But the fire that's in our hearts (It's in our hearts!)

Will is there and the feeling is strong
But the messages seem lost
We divide ourselves from one another
And then ignore the final costs
Lyrics and slogans are not battle cries
They're ideas and nothing more
Talk without actions is politics for fashion
So check your ego at the door
I can't take no more...
NO!

Problems aren't our doing
But we inherit them at birth (Hey! Hey!)
This suffering's not a legacy
But a chance to prove our worth
So we fight against oppression
As we pledge to do our part (Hey! Hey!)
Revolution's not born of bullets
But the fire that's in our hearts (It's in our hearts!)

(Let it go, let it go...!) [x inf]

The wars they wage and the problems they made
They now belong to us
Will we let them rule us too
Or will we crush them into dust?
The choice is ours and the lines are drawn
So it's time to pick your side
Will you stand for the greater good
Or protect your battered pride?

(Whoa, time to let it go...) [x4]
