lyrics

Victims

I just heard about what happened
and I bet it blew your mind...
Things were goin’ pretty well!
You survived enough hard times!
And you learned your share of lessons
from the choices that you made
til you found your straight and narrow
on the path from which you’ d strayed...

Just when you thought you were on the right track
You became the latest victim of some personal attack...
But don’t you ever give up...cuz we can never give in...
or forever we’ll be victims of the world that we live in!

At first it feels hopeless, your innocence is gone!
You feel so violated... somebody’s done you wrong!
But you start to pick up pieces
and you learn to mend the seams
cuz you still recall the visions
you saw living in your dreams...

Chorus:

Live in peace... or live in pain!
Live with hope... or no hope remains!
Live with trust...or live with fear...
or live life thankful that you are here!

Now there’s the hurt, fear and frustration
with which you have to deal
But there’s no place for the anger
that you’re tempted now to feel.
Cuz once we see ourselves as victims
and we live just to survive,
we lose sight of all our hopes and dreams
and that’s why we’re alive
