INDEPENDENT
Another Reason by:Ember Jones
Here's to the world for all the ups and downs,
for all the times you cant keep you're feet on the ground,
we will never have yesterday but we will always have today,
I'll be on my own side until the day i fade away,
i hear the dreadful stories of torture and death,but oh how i wish everyone would recognize the love,
way me and my friends dance around the bonfire,
the way the water flows down the river bed,
but have you noticed all the stories end in death,
the news reporters make a living with their stories of death,the streets become filled with riots ,
or as the reporter would say next weeks pay check,
but apparently you can't survive on love an beauty because love is just an old fad,
the money in you're pocket is all you need to have ,
as long as you can catch a cab to the next bar they say you'll be alright,
but all their looking for is another story another fight,
another reason to talk about death,
another heart breaking story that leads to more death,
an excuse to take our guns ,
an excuse to take our rights ,
and one more excuse to fight.
