Stolen...dreams
Altered...realities
People...begging for release!
But it seems that no matter,
Where they turn,
They can never find their peace
It's stolen away,
Driving them to their knees!

(Stolen...dreams)

What are we doing?
What are we saying?
And where are we going to?
You say "Why does this matter?"
"Our dreams are shattered"
And hold out empty hands,
As your proof
What is stolen from one of us,
Is stolen from all of us,
And those empty hands...
Are the proof

Stolen...lives
Eyes opened...in surprise!
Meaning...hidden in disguise!
And it seems that no matter,
How much we beg and plead,
We see it blown away,
With a hurricane breeze
Stolen away from you and me!

(Stolen...dreams)

What are we doing?
What are we saying?
And where are we going to?
You say "Why does this matter?"
"Our dreams are shattered"
And hold out empty hands,
As your proof
What is stolen from one of us,
Is stolen from all of us,
And those empty hands...
Are the proof

Our lives are stolen!
Our loves are stolen!
Our dreams are stolen!
Our homes are stolen!
Everything we have, is stolen!
But our world wasn't stolen,
Because we sold it

What are we doing?
What are we saying?
And where are we going to?
You say "Why does this matter?"
"Our dreams are shattered"
And hold out empty hands,
As your proof
What is stolen from one of us,
Is stolen from all of us,
And those empty hands...
Are the proof

Every day, we hear people complaining that something has been "stolen" from them...time, money, power, love, dreams.

When do we stop complaining, and take it back?

Break the system.

what about when the thing that was stolen cannot be gotten back? When the stealing of that took a fundermental part of your very being?


That was what came to mind at the end of this... however, that';s due to our person experiance and the way it makes us veiw the world. In general I think this is very well written and has a good message :)
