G in paradise

As I wander through the shadows of doubt and fear
I take a look at my life, wondering why I'm here
I've been caught in the noise for so long now
Even my closest ones question my path somehow
But I've never wronged someone who didn't earn it
To be treated with disrespect? I won't permit it
You better mind your words and where you tread
Or find yourself in a world of dread
I hate to lose my cool, but sometimes it's tough
In the haze of chaos, I see myself in the rough
I'm the kind of soul young ones look up to
Kneeling in the night, seeking guidance through and through

Spending all our days
Searching for a brighter way
Spending all our days
Searching for a brighter way
Keep on walking through the haze
Seeking out a brighter way
Keep on walking through the haze
Seeking out a brighter way

Look at the crossroads where I stand
Living a life shaped by the street's demand
I'm aligned with the dreams of my community
Lost in distractions, chasing what might never be
An educated dreamer with ambitions in my mind
Holding on to hope and visions yet to find
I'm a driven seeker, navigating life's maze
With allies who support me through the hardest days
Life and death are just a heartbeat apart
Living on the edge, with questions in my heart
I'm 23 and wonder what the future holds
The uncertainty is chilling, making me feel cold

Spending all our days
Searching for a brighter way
Spending all our days
Searching for a brighter way
Keep on walking through the haze
Seeking out a brighter way
Keep on walking through the haze
Seeking out a brighter way

Power and ambition, ambition and power
Day by day, hour by hour
Everyone's moving, but few truly see
Caught in the whirlwind, longing to be free
They say I need to learn, but guidance is rare
If they can't understand, how can they care?
Maybe they can't, maybe they won't
Perhaps they pretend, leaving me on my own

Spending all our days
Searching for a brighter way
Spending all our days
Searching for a brighter way
Keep on walking through the haze
Seeking out a brighter way
Keep on walking through the haze
Seeking out a brighter way

Tell me why we fail to see
The ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why we fail to see
The ones we hurt are you and me
