The world is a tank
I swim these waters back and forth
Passing by the same temptations and cruelties
I often wonder how will we rid the souls of this dis-ease
The world is a tank
I the fish trapped looking through the glass
While the oppressors taunt my every move
With a single tap
Alas their touch echos yet, is silenced by my will
The children of the world are rising up with thrill
For evil is on its last stand and righteousness is just over the hill
How much longer my friend?
Till you give up your rebellion
Against the force of love within
This tank can’t hold the pressure this water holds
Each fish swimming the same current
Creating the same rift
Breaking the tank forcing a loose grip
The world is a tank
Their laws have sank
We lift our eyes to the heavens and give thanks
