Obstructed View

To all you people standing proud,
Thinking you know what I'm about,
I think you can fuck yourself.
From your safe distance in this crowd
That's when your voice becomes so loud,
Still trying to keep us down.

Walk one mile in shoes I never asked to fill,
But still I press on.

I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything,
My hope, my faith, in what the future brings,
In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down,
We sing together now.

Give me one reason to look you in the eye,
Tell me exactly why it is that you think you are worth my time.

I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything,
My hope, my faith, in what the future brings,
In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down,
We sing together now.

To all the ones that shake my hand,
Then talk your shit behind my back,
To those who claim they understand
But never heard a word I said,
In spite of you I am still here,
This vision has never been more clear
As we sing together now.

I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything,
My hope, my faith, in what the future brings,
In hopes of pushing past the tie that brings us down,
We sing together now.
