11 Willy Mason Oxygen Lyrics

I wanna be betta then oxgen,
so u can breath when ur drowning, and weak in the knees,
I wanna speak louder then riterline ,
for all the chldren that think that they've got a deasease,
I wanna be cooler then t.v,
for all the kids that are wondering what they're goin to be.
We can be stronger then bombs,
if your singing along,
and you know that you really believe
We can be richer the intrustry.
As long as we know thats there things that we dont really need.
We can speak louder then ignorance,
cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.

(chorus)
On and On and On it goes,
the world it just keeps spinning.
Till i'm dizzy time to breath,
so close my eyes and start again a new.

I wanna see through all the lies of soceity,
to the reality,
happiness is at stake.
I wanna hold up my head with dignity,
proud of a life where to give is more then to take.
I wanna live beyond the modern mentality,
that paper is all that your taught to create.
Do you remember the forgottenm America,
Justis equallity,
Freedom to every race.
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrasay,
Make up and hair, to the truth behind every face.
Then look around to all the people you see,
How many of them are happy and free?
I no it sounds like a dream,
but its the only thing that can get me asleep at night.
I no its hard to believe,
but its easy to see that somethin' here isnt right?
I no the furture looks dark,
but it there that the kids of today must carry the light.

(chorus) x1

If i'm afraid to catch a dream,
weave your baskets,
and i float them down the river steam,
each one i weave with words i speak,
to carry love to your relief.

(chorus) x1
