Where's the Light?

I can still remember
When we were wise
Blank sheets of paper
Not yet filled with ugly lies.
Firm indoctrination
And thought control
Kept us in the dark
The truth remains untold

Where's the light that once shone in our hearts?
Where did it go?
If there's a glimmer somewhere in the dark
Let it show.
Where's the light that once shone in our hearts?
How would I know?
In a world that's falling apart
Don't let it go.

Weak-hearted decisions
Won't break our fall.
Business as usual
Is not acceptable.
Our noble visions
Where have they gone?
Don't say we didn't have a choice
We did but we chose wrong.
