Part 1: A World Of Injustice
(Instrumental)
Part 2: Our Leading Lady
Here we have Miss Renee
She has a lot to say
The world is not ok
It's not a peaceful place
Everyone around her just doesn't seem to care
And she's gotta make a stand
And she's gotta help the ones who need a hand
She's gotta make a stand
Stop the evil ones from destroying all the land
And imprisoning the children
And oppressing all the people with lies
She's gotta make a plan and stick with it
She's gonna form a band and rock to it
She's gonna make a change and grow with it
All she's gotta do, is just do it
She walks alone by the riverside
And a gentle breeze
Carries a butterfly...
Part 3: Riverside Remedies
A little trail
Runs along the river
That's where she likes to go
To get away from the sounds of the city
And hear the water flow
Big Blue and The Institution
They wanna bring her down
Now with a sigh
She looks up to the sky
Gonna rest for awhile...
Miss Renee's gonna make it right
Teach them all how to fight
You don't need guns, just the power of love
It comes from you and the stars above
Give the people what they really need
To lend a hand is the way to succeed
To see a smile on a face of another
A strong reminder that we need each other
The Sun sets
With the color of freedom
But we are far from done
Now with a cry, she shouts out to the sky
We deserve to thrive...
Part 4: Big Blue Strikes
The Institution buys you with a smile
You sell your soul
Just to live for awhile
Corporate schemes
Fading dreams
Quality of life - Retirement
Enjoy your life, what's left of it
The Institution
Keepers of our rights
They can be stopped
By the kindness of your heart
Give all you have
To the folks of the land
Break the fear and lend a helping hand
Like the tales of old
To destroy the creatures of the night
You must drive them out
Expose them to the light
No matter the age
Any time or place
You cross Big Blue
They'll kick in your face
Whoever survives
Gets traded away
Don't matter to them
We all bleed the same way
Part 5: Transfer Of Power
Like mindless drones
Big Blue charges the city streets
Smoke fills the air
A figure emerges from the crowd
Tensions high, eyes of tears
This is what she said:
No cages, no borders, no masters
Strike me down
Lock me up
I'll never stop
I'll never give up
In our hearts we have to search
For the love and compassion
To start a chain reaction
We must heal the Earth
Miss Renee
Shows us the way
To let our hearts combine
Moments of truth
Shatters the lies
Miss Renee
Save the day
She teaches us to be kind
The people rejoice
Big Blue has resigned
Battles won
Just for now
War's undone
We must prevail
The Institution
Is not defeated
The empty souls
Will keep recruiting
Evil hides, but will return
Another loss, something learned
We can't give in, we can't give up
We must go on repeating
Showing how much we care
Watch the smiles unveil
Love will not derail
Together we can be the setting Sun
Give chance
A second glance
Another shine
A river give a ripple it's time...
Part 6: Message Of Light
(Spoken Word by Valore)
You are me, and I am you
I feel your pain, we play the fool
Someday soon
We'll all be free...

I Quit My Job
03:22

How long
Can this keep goin on
Everyday I tell myself
There's nothing wrong
Train your mind to think it's fine
All you do is work all the time
Someone else makes more money than you
But you work harder than they do
Look around
What do you see
Somewhere else you'd rather be
Born to work
You work til you die
All you gotta do is say goodbye
There's nothing I would rather do
Than quit my job and stay with you
I don't want to waste my time
Working a job I don't even like
How long
Can this keep goin on
Everyday I tell myself
There's nothing wrong
I can't afford to live my life
They say you gotta work
Just to survive
Someone else is more happy than you
But you got more money than they do
Look around
What do you see
Someone else you'd rather be
Born to work
You work til you die
All you gotta do is say goodbye
There's nothing I would rather do
Than quit my job and stay with you
I don't want to waste my time
Working a job I don't even like
There's nothing I would rather do
Than quit my job and stay with you
I don't want to waste my time
Working a job I don't even like
Goodbye...

Leave Your Hate Behind
06:19

Part 1
Where are we going
Where have we been
Broken dreams and miseries
Are dripping in the din
Lifetime after lifetime
Will we ever learn
Hatred grows from barren hearts
Where love does not grow first
As courage spreads by battlecry
The love you share will not be halved
Every life is precious
Each a gift to souls in motion
The change of hearts is found
When all your love erodes corrosion
Leave all your hate behind
Anger is entangled
In so many emotions
The fear that hides inside you
Churns a hate filled deeper ocean
Cast away the doubts inside you
See the eyes of those beside you
Let all your loving guide you
And leave your hate behind
Kindness spreads forgiveness
Turns to joy
Then turns to laughs
Every life is precious
Each a gift to souls in motion
The change of hearts is found
When all your love erodes corrosion
Of hate that scales the softness
All the steeping in devotion
Leave all your hate behind
Leave all your hate behind
Leave all your hate behind
Part 2
Why don't - you just
Leave your hate behind
There is - no need
For the constant fight
Why don't - you just
Leave your hate behind
You'll have - more fun
Basking in the light...
Why don't - you just
Leave your hate behind
There is - no need
For the constant fight
Why don't - you just
Leave your hate behind
You'll have - more fun
Basking in the light...
