i listen to you as you speak/ softly you lead me on/ actions are always
louder than words/ judgment is not over gone/ on the stage set for the
people am i just a pawn in the game/ i try to stand tall and stronger as i
watch the passing of blame/ here i am fighting for freedom and light/ the
future is clouded ahead/ in a moment i must decide but i just can't hear
what you said/ on the stage set for the people am i just a pawn in the
game/ i try to stand tall and stronger as i watch the passing of blame/ now
as i'm falling you draw me in to all the fighting i battle inside myself/ there
must be a change/ in a moment of silence a word from the wise comes
through and calls me in from all the battles i’m fighting inside myself/ there
must be a change/ in a moment of silence
