At this point in the album, the protagonist (Mary) has started to fight back and revolt against the Drones. However, it seems they are losing this rebellion and need a spark of hope to fight back and reignite the flame. Unfortunately, the uplifting tone of this song and of the story does not stay fo...
[Verse 1]
How did we get in so much trouble?
Getting out just seems impossible
Oppression is persisting
I can't fight this brain conditioning
Our freedom's just a loan
Run by machines and drones
They've got us locked into their sights
Soon, they'll control what's left inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to hide it
Don't tell me it's not there
[Chorus]
You've got strength, you've got soul
You've felt pain, you've felt love
You can grow (You can grow), you can grow (You can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt, you can revolt
You can revolt, ooh-oh
[Verse 2]
Can you hear a distant thunder?
Taste earth's blood and hunger
We live in a toxic jungle
Truth is suppressed to mumbles
They'll take away our homes
They're just machines and drones
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to fight it
Don't tell me you can't see
[Chorus]
You've got strength, you've got soul
You've felt pain, you've felt love
You can grow (You can grow), you can grow (You can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt, you can revolt
You can revolt, ooh-oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I can feel your pain
And I can feel your confusion
I can see you're trapped in a maze
Let's find a way to escape
[Chorus]
You've got strength, you've got soul
You're not afraid, you're not a drone
You can grow (You can grow), you can grow (You can grow)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt, you can revolt
You can revolt, ooh-oh
