[Verse 1: Emcee Lynx]
Depression, projection, long lost affection
Feel myself fallin', callin' for protection
From ghosts in my past, that haunt my dreams
Cutting through my heart like laser beams
I'm tryna work through the pain, getting ripped at the seams
Focus my mind and switch the scene
I'm tryna do what I can to build for change
Much love to all people doing the same
Because I’m so sick and tired of playing the game
Just faceless numbers not people with names
It’s a shame how folks believe the lies
Sent by satellites through the skies
I'm left looking for hope behind your eyes
And I’m feelin' so lonely cause I could die
Can’t see the stars at night through the smoke
And some days I just can’t help but choke
On the rage, and fear, hope, and despair
Wonder why in the hell nobody else cares
So I dedicate this to y'all out there
Who still believe in the dream we share
[Hook: Lia Rose]
And we came walking
Walking down the wide road
Searching together
For Avalon

[Verse 2: Emcee Lynx]
We can do this thing, change the world
Make a better place for the boys and girls
Children growing up in the shadow of death
Scared of nuclear war, or who knows what’s next
It’s global warming, apocalypse now
All there remains is the where and how
Because the new generation's, gonna come up soon
Living in the rubble of a world consumed
By the thoughtless greed of the profit system
I close my eyes and I envision
Peace and freedom, love, respect
So many struggles, but I connect
My fight for freedom with my neighbors fight
And if we work together then we just might
Take it to the next step, and build our dreams
People gotta get free by any means
Sick of screams of pain, whips and chains
The locks on our mind, but the effects the same
Let’s break out, stand out, fuck a handout
Take what we need when it finally pans out
[Hook: Lia Rose]
And we sent our thoughts out
Like doves in the moonlight
Searching for freedom
In the world we left behind
And our roots went down
Deep into the wet earth
Undermining foundations
Reclaiming our home

[Verse 3: Emcee Lynx]
I see people starvin’ in the dust of empires
And off in the distance smoke from fires
Keeping warm, and keeping close
Holding tight to the people that I love the most
Ghosts of the past, walk the land
On fertile soil turned to desert sands
Cities washed away on the rising tides
As the icecaps melt and the oceans rise
The things I fear, the things I see coming
Meanwhile most folks are brainwashed runnin'
Into the abyss waitin' to swallow
No time for reform, the words are hollow
Beat back the brainwash, refuse to follow
Deep into the pit where there’s no tomorrow
Feeling pushed and herded like cattle prods
I never give up, despite the odds
I'm tryna do a 180, start a stampede
No need for leaders if we all lead
We’ll never make a change if we’re scared to bleed
But a better world's comin’ and we are the seeds
[Hook: Lia Rose]
And our roots went down
Deep into the wet earth
Undermining foundations
Reclaiming our home
And our dreams rise up
Like vines in the morning
Climbing over the cities
Tearing down the walls
And so we stand here
Flowers in the sun's love
Slowly realizing
We’re in Avalon
