What a shock it was to learn, how much I didn’t know;
After all these years, can’t believe it’s so.
Turns out all that stuff, about how great we were;
On closer observation, now I’m not so sure.
Wishful thinking, never mind the truth;
On a ship that’s sinking, could be
we’re lying to our youth.
Religion based on fear, favor based on skin;
Ever wonder why you’re here, rationalize your sin.
Climbing up the ladder, first one to the top;
It doesn’t seem to matter, we never plan to stop.
We need some time to think of honor and our place;
Our duty not to shrink, a life of peace and grace.
