As One

If you know what truly matters in my heart You know where I will stand right from the start It's useless to go and try to change me It's a promise I'll be true to friends and family We'll stand as one and bend to none While it seems like everyone forgot compassion Empty lives wasted on competition It's a weakness to have forgotten tolerance And an illness dwelling on such ignorance Some wars are worth being fought Our values and our ethics can't be bought With the strength of courage And the power of knowledge The conviction, the truth The passion and the youth
