lyrics

Verse

Didn't choose where I was born
Didn't choose where I was raised
Still I am who I am
Born with a silver spoon
Eating with teeth of gold
Still the sun follows my every move
I'm not taking a side
I'm not in this divide
Let's try a new dispensation
Verse 2
I’m here without being here
I’m screaming to collide
From cliffs guardians abide
I’m seeking ecstasy
That only peace has the fruit to bare
Shouts fired like lightning
Making their sparks


Chorus


I'm not taking a side
I'm not in this divide
Let's try a new dispensation

Throwing caution to the wind
It's better than the same thing again
Let's try a new dispensation
Bridge

No night
So long
Without a dawn

No night
So long
Without a dawn


Let's Try a New Dispensation
