From the recording Prayers & Observations
Lyrics
Featuring Youth
Looking at a mechanism bigger than ourselves
It's wandering out to consequences
Hacking into rules and fences
Only to discover the their version of the truth
They can't know what they will become
They're not that far away from home
Looking at a situation taking place right here
It's drenched with lack of self-esteem
Survival of the fittest of the team
What ever you end up with it much better than nothing
They only see what we've become
But do we even know our way back home
Featuring youth
No movie can compare
No science fiction can prepare you for the ways these feet will walk
Featuring youth
Prejudgments can't be made
No words be served by us that these minds won't taste of their own
Looking into words and phrases we don't understand
It's new communications tapes
Samples from what youth creates
Messages are sent out but we always get them wrong
To get a clue you need to listen more than once to a new song
Featuring youth
No movie can compare
No science fiction can prepare you for the ways these feet will walk
Featuring youth
Prejudgments can't be made
No words be served by us that these minds won't taste of their own
They, they can't hear what you're saying
Can't know that you're praying for them to be strong
Why don't you just speak out loud?
And let them know they have nothing to prove to make you proud
Featuring youth
No movie can compare
No science fiction can prepare you for the ways these feet will walk
Featuring youth
Prejudgments can't be made
No words be served by us that these minds won't taste of their own
