This feels a bit like Sting to me. If I could pull off his voice, these would be the lyrics.
Change seems impossible A world beyond our grasp Too many liars in our midst Forked tongues and asps
Our future seems a hostage Held by thick chains By actors we don't know Malevolence in their brain
Trials can be mountains Cliffs that we must climb Snipers in snowy drifts Place crosshairs on our spines Fear pushes us to move Or it can freeze our feet in place Change will happen either way We die or we escape
At times...
Change feels possible Almost within our grasp We surround ourselves with heroes Friends forged in fires past
Our future is adrift Altered by our hands We try to shape what's to come By movement and our plans
Change is inevitable The status quo won't last Change doesn't need permission Changes happen fast
The sum of our decisions Against what others decide Mold the future for us We just might change this tide
Trials can be mountains Cliffs that we must climb Snipers in snowy drifts Place crosshairs on our spines Fear pushes us to move Or it can freeze our feet in place Change will happen either way We die or we escape
