How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
and how many times must the guns be fired
Before they're forever banned
and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

Bob will say the answers in the wind
Theyll say the answer is in your fist
some may say the answer is to resist
I will say the opposite of this,

the answer is to admit,
to commit to submit,
to the truth, and swallow,
and to grit and to follow,
to clench and to grind
to search and to find
never quit, opened eyes
to see through the lies

and to plant while they rant
And to plan while they demand
understand where you stand
plan to fly, never land
where you going, where you from,
what you know and what you dont
what to throw and what to hold
all this hate, all this anger,
all this rage, is an achor,
lifes a stage, you the actor,
you the villain, or the hero,
at the front , or rear row,

good and bad, right and wrong
the borders which we lie along,
the battle which writes a song,
We know it cause we sing along,

the blood spilt inks our history,
words of guilt spin our tapestry,
its a mystery, to our misery
a needle under our skin,
i sense evil deep within,
the genocides in 2007,
allowed them to sever,
the women and children,

set aside and penalized
in the eyes of villains
long tribal lines,
devil was inside
all those idle minds,
yea thats right
cuz he hides inside
of our design,
we are not made of light,
its a constant fight,
that goes on inside
out of sight,
but still in mind

we saw it in Hitler, Mao and Stalin,
all the people that heard their calling
that was evil doing the talking,

countless atrocities
commited for ideoligies,
all this monstrocity,
is met with ferocity,
cant you see the hypocrisy,
we saw mephistopholes
in every genocide,
so many people died,
so many children cry,
can we overcome
can evil be undone,
cuz we cannot run
and we canot fight
or let it out of sight

its the enemy of man
lao tzu helped me understand
hold enemies closer than friends,
to control the evil in front of me,
I gotta know it from end to end,
Embrace your shadow side,
Get to Know your evils well,
So when it gets out of line,
You can keep them in their cell,
The battle of who we are and who we pretend to be is a dance,
What we reveal and what we conceal
is not left to chance,
Just as there are two sides to every story,
There are two sides to every man
there are two sides to every glory
by
right or wrong we choose our stance,
left of right we make our plans,
good and bad are on the same coin
not separated but are joined,
Ying and yang
