RESISTANCE - by Gah-bé (Gabriel Vanaver)

Overworked scraping by, soul inert no time for tea
Mind too busy to care, day to day nine to five, like a zombie
plugged in, sensory overload programmed sleep on repeat, we comatose
damn, what is wrong with society.

chorus——
Is it fear, or are we just lazy? can we live up to our capability?
it is clear that we’re just crazy, are we just stuck in a maze from a to z, amaze me
Let me run wild, all the while remain at peace
Don’t let nothing phase me, not fear nor death child, be at ease (2x)
——

Belief, thats where it starts, the self, the heart within the shell
The spark that glistens, if you listen close, you can hear the song swell
Don’t fear the beat, the rhythm pulses, emulsify the soul cry
live and give every moment to moment, believe and cast yourself like a spell.

Be a mystic misfit, divert the earth to something different
Stand up, you are gifted, speak from the heart, be an activist
I know its hard, but life ain’t about petty prattles, put your money where your mouth is
The time is now to put up the resistance.

What do you got to prove, to who? get outta here with your criteria
Cry teary eyed, let it in, let it go, 10000 things, the whole myriad
No need to freeze in your tracks, just breathe and believe with the wind at your back
or turn around and weather the storm, emerge with the strong… period.

chorus——
Is it fear, or are we just lazy? can we live up to our capability?
it is clear that we’re just crazy, are we just stuck in a maze from a to z, amaze me
Let me run wild, all the while remain at peace
Don’t let nothing phase me, not fear nor death child, be at ease (2x)
——

I used to sit up on my rooftop at night, to write under moonlight
No limit to my thoughts, mind connected with the sky
Reflected, redirected, pen to page, ink sinks,
Soul sings my story and history is made.

Her story, our story, their story displayed,
I am just a conduit catching these radio waves,
Age old displays of what we hold to praise
The plays that play the stage, dramas, comedies, journeys and games.

Chase the dream, dance until you make it rain
Whatever you do, do it you do it true (Find comfort in the work, encompass this earthly view)
We all must look beyond this life, transform and change
If I conduit, so can you and you and you!

chorus——
Is it fear, or are we just lazy? can we live up to our capability?
it is clear that we’re just crazy, are we just stuck in a maze from a to z, amaze me
Let me run wild, all the while remain at peace
Don’t let nothing phase me, not fear nor death child, be at ease (2x)
