CONTRAVENE LYRICS

"The Strength Of The Struggle"

You can see it in the eyes of a child
You can feel it in the voice of the old
The struggle for meaning, for reason, acceptance, completion
The eyes of hope and the voice of reason
The words of wisdom and the strength of a vision
The truth is written in all of our eyes
It's the strength and the weakness.
The sheer act of choosing to live your own fucking life
There is strength in this struggle and it's more than words and writing
It's living and dying
It's laughing and crying
It's learning and teaching
And striving and reaching
To take back and rebuild our lives
To take back and rebuild our lives
And it's the voice of reason and the eyes of a vision that keep me moving on
To remember those that came before, the ones I've loved, hated and adored
For all that I've seen and felt
Been given and been dealt
And for all that has yet to come
This is for our struggles, our lives, our troubles, our times
For protest - resistance - action - persistence
For life and love
And those with the courage to say that enough is enough
Yes, this is for you - my friend, my lover, my sister, my brother, my mother, my father,
the one like no other, my past, my present, my hope for the future,
my son and my daughter, grandmother, grandfather and all that I've seen exit life
Let's take back and rebuild our lives
So we can listen to reason and bask in this wisdom
And finally have the strength to look in our children's eyes
And KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT FEEDING THEM LIES!
That we took back and rebuilt our lives
