Have faith they said,
and everything will be alright,
but they chose your faith ahead,
before you even see the sunlight.
Most people are born with some faith,
and they let it dictate their fate,
they live for one and they die for one,
they put belief over the fellow man.
You should have faith, I agree,
it’s fine, as long as you are free,
sometimes people need hope,
but don’t turn that cross into a rope,
when hope is hard to find,
don’t let a book enslave your mind.
Life is not just win or lose,
you can almost always choose,
what to believe, where to place your faith on,
on every challenge that you stumble upon.
I’m not against gods, gods that fall or gods that rise,
they are the same to me, almighty and wise,
gods of darkness or the goddess of light,
even without your faith, they will be alright.
They have survived one million years,
through hope and fears, silence and tears.
Through love and hate, flowers and gore,
they will survive ten million years more.
But people, people need your faith to survive,
It’s not easy for an idea to be born, and stay alive,
people who dream and act, people who laugh and fight,
‘cause changing the world can be a long and lonely flight.
It takes a high toll, the others to serve,
when you could just relax, consume and observe,
most people are scared to stand up, they just stay short,
few people that do, they need your support.
The judge that fights
corruption,
and dies in a scene of mass destruction,
the journalist that unveils the truth,
and takes three bullets through a shattered booth.
The women that stand up in a man’s world,
the kids that question what they’ve been told,
the priests that preach love instead of hate,
the artitsts that inspire and motivate.
The young politician that tries to bring change,
and he is neglected with laughter and rage,
he is just being thrown out of the frame,
while people yell “they are all the same”.
The doctor that saves lives,
the rescuer that sacrifices,
the activists that go to prison,
or get shot, for no reason.
People, put your faith to them, put your faith to you,
believe, and people will come through,
they will succeed against the odds,
’cause people are the living gods.
