about

I wrote Corruption a while ago. It was actually one of my very first songs. It's about how awful the world is and what humans specifically have done to make it such a negative place. Though there is hope, the song stresses that every person has to be involved in the bettering of our planet, in whatever way they can.

lyrics

What do you think when you hear "people"?
Do you think human?
Do you think fake?
What do you think when you hear "brain"?
Do you think weapon?
Do you hear insane?

We're people, it's who we are.
We're the ones that made the car,
we're the ones that destroyed the O-Zone layer.
We're the ones with all the destruction,
the ones with all the corruption,
we're the ones that made the towers fall on our heads.
We're the ones that led the invasion,
the ones with discrimination,
we also built the nation.
The ones that started it all,
the ones that took the fall,
we're people it's who we are,
we're just people.

The ones with the clothes,
the ones with the noses,
ones with the shoes,
who knows what we'll do?
Ones with the kites,
the ones that will fight,
we're people,
we know what to do.

We're invaders,
manipulators,
dictators, and innovators.

What do you think when you hear "triumph"?
Do you think hero?
Do you think that we did it?
What do you think when you hear "hope"?
Do you think future?
Do you hear possibility?

Nearly all the choices we've made so far did not led us into darkness.
Nearly all the choices we've made so far have led us into the light.
So whoever you are, throw your ideas on the table.
Whatever you want to do, you're more than capable.
'Cause your voice is everything you'll need,
if you let your heart take the lead.

You're no invader,
horrible manipulator,
really really mean dictator,
you're a wonderful innovator.

And you can change the world,
one step at a time.
Just walk forward and hold your hand in mine.
And let your voice shine.
