Do you know of the power, the light within us all I can see it shining bright And I see them tremble At the thought that we could reach our full potential And they'd lose control It's no good sitting on the sidelines The clock is ticking by and we are losing time When strength is lying hidden on the inside I've been looking every which way But I'm not seeing a change I'm not really seeing anything changing I've been looking in every direction Someone please give me a new perspective It's no good sitting on the sidelines The clock is ticking by and we are losing time When strength is lying hidden on the inside We are told what to believe These things we know but cannot see Like shadow ghosts they creep Silently defining who they think that we should be Don't sleep, open your eyes and find the light We are told what to believe These things we know but cannot see We can't sit and wait and let life go by So stand up and fight 'cause we are losing time It's no good sitting on the sidelines The clock is ticking by and we are losing time When strength is lying hidden on the inside
