Analysis of Today
I see your method
I see your rhythm
I see you planning to fall.
But don't disregard this, this is a message for all.
Sometimes life knocks you down
Sometimes it turns you around
It makes you want to make an ugly frown.
Frown at who? Gotta be you.
You are the destiny of your future
You can speak it out like a preacher
You can change the choices if you let it
Just make sure you never forget it.
We are our biggest enemies
We create problems that we can't feed
We don't give ourselves a chance
We make it hard to accept the next advance.
Us together can help one another
Us together can learn to be better
Us together can increase the nation wide
Us together can come out and survive.
