Noise around you

Moving cars

Side by side

But miles apart

Time is ticking

Running late

We don't know better

But wait

I - ay, know that there's a way (way, way)

And why - ay, don't we start today

Let's start today (ok, yeah)

There's gotta be a way

Everybody looking down, we should look up

How are we so connected, but we don't link up

There's life outside the phone, reasons to write more songs

Reasons to start more families, reasons to build more homes

We need touch, just as much as the air that we breathe

It's so clear, but we so distracted we do not see

Technology, is it a gift or just another curse?

Cell phones movin' fast, but the connection is worse

There's a lot of people hurting, inside they are really crying

But they are just smiling for the gram while they steady dying

And you know I ain't lying, if I am then I'm flying

But my feet still on the earth as I write these rhymes

I'm tryna change the world, with all my education

Running from capitalism headed for liberation

To spread to many nations, that's the dream that I'm chasing

So I keep praying for peace, change, and plenty of patience

I - ay, know that there's a way

And why - ay, don't we start today

Let's start today (ok, yeah)

There's gotta be a way

Wake up to chase your goals, wake up to break the mold

Wake up to live out the moments of life and what it holds

Find something you can be, no matter what it is

And don't you ever give up, remember your inner kid

Tune out the noise, don't just be a moving car

Recognize where you are and how you've come so far, yeah

Sometimes you've got to give yourself a hug

Just as a reminder to you that you deserve love

You see

Arms around me

Day by day

Why does it feel

So far away

Words are empty

Colours fade

Now we do know better

Yet all stays the same

I - ay, know that there's a way

And why - ay, don't we start today
