Look at what youve done The finger is pointed at me I cant turn and run The actions were taken by thee Stand up for one thing stand up tall Suppress you once and for all I start to see that youre just really me Time to grow up and move on Cast you aside, so long I let you rule me Shape my own identity Nows the time, take it back Breakthough, kickback Its time Enough

Just wont quit We just wont quit Times on our side And we will prevail Expectations on your back Dedication you must not lack Here till the end Positive minds win again A crew with empathy Standing true, no enemies No egos, no attitudes Well make a believer out of.... You can change your life Make the wrongs right First you must acknowledge And then gain some knowledge Theres no room for hate We all must equate Respect those around you Judgement from within A crew with empathy Standing true, no enemies No egos, no attitudes Building blocks from a better you

Hateful views will never make you right Shove them down my throat you have lost your sight Given every opportunity Lost the jewel of life youve lost all it's glee Breath Not much of it left Stop wasting your life Take a stand, set yourself free Replace the anger, replace the means The time is now for you to see Take a stand, set yourself free Before your chance is gone

Abbreviated quotation from "Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte" by Hermann Hesse “For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farmboy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow. Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life." I stand alone Like a tree standing alone Absorbing all the oncoming foehn Solitary, and on my own My roots have grown But in them I will not be drowned Ill fullfill myself and wear the crown Expectations stretched out along my bough Represent myself as I see how The forces of life are the forces that are shown Scars of this life I have gained as I have grown My whole history is luminous and gold Contentment as I stand alone I walk this path all by myself Hesitations left up on the shelf Forks in the road along the way Ill live with the decisions that I have made Getting to know myself is key Focus all my internal chi Regulate my temperment Living life with no arrogance The forces of life are the forces that are shown Scars of this life I have gained as I have grown My whole history is luminous and gold Contentment as I stand alone Forks in the road along the way Ill live with the decisions that I have made
