The First Step > Lyrics - "Demo 2001"

1. WE ALL DIE

What’s the point, the meaning?
When dead is all we end up being.
Life is so short, every moment counts
But we’ll just sit around and watch time run out!

Up to you, only you can choose!
Whether you WIN OR LOSE!
What do I want it to say on my grave?
That I made a difference!

Life! I want to live it true.
Follow my path, do all I can do.
Success and money why do I need these things?
I want to live for others and have the joy it brings!

In this life we always hesitate, to live today we just procrastinate.
But life is now and it just won’t wait.
Show others you care, there is no time to waste!

It’s what you do not what you say
With mediocrity there is a price to pay! 2x

Right now! It all starts here.
My fire grows stronger year after year.
We can always go without a sound,
But I’ll leave this world better than it was found.


2. AS IT IS

Yes! I still believe.
But what do these words have to do with me
Are we all mute, can’t we speak and express the ideas we really think?
I want your voice out of my head; I can’t believe the words you said.
All this great music with no message, what is the point?

Others may hold back, but I will speak my mind AS IT IS!

The words I heard inspired me to look at myself and the world around me.
I know what I believe I know what I think, I don’t want this “scene” but I won’t watch it sink. If we can help each other believe that life is worth living that that is enough for me.
A community that can do so much more than shout out slogans and hit the dance floor.

Others may hold back, but I will speak my mind AS IT IS!

I have faith in the words we said but its useless man if we don’t use our heads.
Screaming at the top of my lungs, you think the core is ending but it’s just begun.
So many people looking for green curse and scream and just use the scene.
You can hurt its name and you can win, but you’ll get out what you put in!

Others may hold back, but I will speak my mind AS IT IS!

3. WHOSE LIFE

Today!
I can't see, I want to know
How you always give in and never explode.
No more anger, no more hate
towards the ones who decide your fate.
Rack your brain do the math, you’re the one
who chooses the path.
Take it east man accept the blame.
We'll move forward, one and the same.
Whose life is this anyway?
Stop listening to what they have to say.
Whose life is this anyway?
Stop the cycle and breakaway.
Pressure building, forcing us down.
Eveyone wants something now
right now.
Life can't be bought, life can't be sold.
Won't assume a position so foreign and cold.
You got a voice man so use it.
For communication and not excuses.
Friends aren't expendable
Commitment is basic not commendable.
Whose life is this anyway?
Stop listening to what they have to say.
Whose life is this anyway?
Stop the cycle and breakaway.
TODAY!


4. THE FIRST STEP

Right! Or Wrong!
Everyday! I feel the strain. We all know the fear of breaking away. Forget our old habits and rearrange. All this illusion and all this confusion, I can't even see what path to take. If we can't step outside ourselves, we'll never realize what's at stake.


The journey of a thousand miles begins with THE FIRST STEP. Strength lies within, so take THE FIRST STEP

Everyday! I see the gain, of fighting the war inside your head, and looking for the truth inside instead. We will slow our pace and we'll lose face, but those who are real will understand why. It will hurt and cause us pain, but what do you expect living against the grain?

The journey of a thousand miles begins with THE FIRST STEP. Strength lies within, so take THE FIRST STEP

Search and you will find, but not on the outside, all of us are blind. CHANGE COMES FROM WITHIN. I won't look to you for the things that I should do, I'll walk the path I choose. CHANGE COMES FROM WITHIN
