Everytime I think I do the right
Everytime I think that it's positive
Little things get in the way
Aimed at perfection, I'm led astray
No way, that I'll rest my efforts
I put inside my whole life
This strife inside, it can't be stopped
Try not to lose the spirit of youth
TRUE, IT'S hard to face your faults, it's hard to see mistakes
LOOK AHEAD (the way to be)
FORGET, what's done is done, it can't be changed
LOOK AHEAD (the way to be)
Go back in time three years
Where were you then, what did you do?
Look at the negatives, do you remember?
Maybe only one or two
No way that I'll rest my efforts
I put inside my whole life
This strife inside, it can't be stopped
Try not to lose the spirit of youth
TRUE, IT'S hard to face your faults, it's hard to see mistakes
LOOK AHEAD (the way to be)
FORGET, what's done is done, it can't be changed
LOOK AHEAD (the way to be)

There comes a time, in your life
You recognize the fact you are different
With combinations of activities
WHICH ARE UNIQUE
Power lies in choice
Making a choice and speaking out your voice
Freedom of choice = freedom of life
STICK TO THAT CHOICE
Living your own formula
Using feedback to correct your path of life
Adding to life, giving to friends
LIFE...FOR ME!!
MEANS...BE FREE!!
BREAK!!

Waarom heeft een mens soms pijn?
Omdat mensen wolven zijn:
koud, gemeen, verscheurend hard,
haat die alle liefde tart.
Waarom staat en mens alleen,
zonder vrienden om hem heen?
Moe, verbitterd, star en stug,
valt hij op zichzelf terug.
Waarom heeft een mens verdriet?
Omdat hij 't "waarom" niet ziet.
Schreeuwend van verslagenheid
raakt hij alle houvast kwijt.
Waarom is een mens soms bang?
Omdat hij een leven lang
doodsbenauwd zichzelf niet geeft
en beseft: 'k heb nooit geleefd...'
Eens is er een mens ontwaard
die zichzelf niet heeft gespaard.
Iedereen zag Hij als een vriend:
te goeder trouw of onverdiend.
Dwars door diepe eenzaamheid:
angst en pijn en zware strijd
maakte Hij zichzelf heel klein
om toch maar dichtbij te zijn.
Gevend tot het einde toe.
Vraag je nu: waarom en hoe?
Omdat Hij steeds heeft voorvoeld:
Daarvoor is een mens bedoeld.
Verdwaalde schapen volg de herder!
onze oplossing brengt jou niet verder
laat je niet leiden door een rattenvanger
die maakt alleen je zoektocht langer
volg ze niet, vertrouw op jezelf
wie helpt jou, zij helpen zichzelf
volg ze niet, vertrouw op jezelf
wie helpt jou, zij helpen zichzelf
STRUGGLE (Translation Strijd)
Why does sometimes a human have pain?
Because people are wolves:
cold, mean, savage,
hate that defies all love.
Why is a human standing alone?
without friends around him?
Tired, embittered, stiff and tough,
he’s falling back to himself.
Why is a human in grief?
Because he doesn’t see the “why”.
Screaming of dismay
he’s loosing all grip.
Why is a human sometimes scared?
Because a lifetime long terrified,
he doesn’t give himself,
and realizes: “I have never lived...”
Once there was a human perceived
who didn’t spare himself.
Everybody He saw as a friend:
in good faith or not deserved.
Straight through deep solitude:
fear and pain and heavy battle
He made himself very small
to be close by.
Giving until the end
You ask yourself now: why and how?
Because He always premonitioned:
For that is a human meant.
Lost sheep follow the shepherd
our solution doesn’t carry you further
don’t be lead by a rat-catcher
who only lengthen your quest.
don’t follow them, rely on yourself
who helps you, they help themselves
don’t follow them, rely on yourself
who helps you, they help themselves

So you left me standing
I'm all alone
I'm left behind in a room and I
I face the wall
Wall is like a mirror,
It reflects my life,
Stone cold and brutally cracked, well
Empty rivers flow,
Body, soul, injured
Cash and Pain remain
This pleasure is sacrifice, but
keeps my parents alive
Face the other side
The abuse
The misuse
Break the chains I live with
Take the links away
Childhood, a new definition
Work instead of play
Incarcerated in darkness
I have become a faceless
I have to work for the senseless
Weaving rugs, so monotonously
Body, soul, injured
Cash and Pain remain
This pleasure is sacrifice, but
keeps my parents alive
Face the other side
The abuse
The misuse
Western power is based on money,
is based on greed
and the need

In Holland there's a building, a house of lies
Humiliation, interrogation, you won't be treated nice
You'll be restrained, all day long, with depraved intent
Covered up in legal ways, to keep racism alive
And so they work
And so they lie
Refugees and fugitives, without a home
It's their contention and desperation that's always overlooked
Demonstration means isolation, protests won't be heard
Your only right is to shut up, be a deportee
Medical assistance, means they have some pills
Which for an hour relieve you from your pain
And so they work
And so they lie
Refugees and fugitives, without a home
It's their contention and desperation that's always overlooked
And so they work
And so they lie
And so they die

You hate, complain, and never seem to cope
With other people unlike you
Expand your views, there's many more than one
Variety of inputs, spices of life
Evolve yourself, don't throw away your pride
Achievements are nothing to hide
HUMAN!
I'M HUMAN!
I'M JUST LIKE YOU
OF THE SAME RACE
THE HUMAN RACE
ONE RACE!
Face and pride, based upon colour
All you ever did, spelled as W.H.I.T.E.
Exert a force, a natural course
Consequenses fully ignored
Fear and pain, a damaged self-esteem
A result that you will never absorb
HUMAN!
I'M HUMAN!
I'M JUST LIKE YOU
OF THE SAME RACE
THE HUMAN RACE
ONE RACE!
The state, the pain, will it ever change
Enemies by nature, easy to see
Your files, your life, it's all in bits and bytes
Accessible by the industry
Directed, rejected, as if we're just a unit
Well, this unit's gonna try to resist
HUMAN!
I'M HUMAN!
I'M JUST LIKE YOU
OF THE SAME RACE
THE HUMAN RACE
ONE RACE!

You decide to criticize
A body's shape and outer sides
Fail to see the inner pride
Of people just like you and I
Your eyes...a silent rape
Search for things I can't relate to
Standardize a model role
Disrespect and sex the goal
It's in your head!!
It's inside you!!
It takes control!!
Of what you feel!!
Money spent on wasted nights
Please the eye with outer sides
Comparing bodies in the mind
Comments like "your ass is mine"
Discriminate. Is it a joke?
Empty thoughts. Worthless.
Give respect and you'll get it back
Resist verbal gender attack
You're a catalyst. You're keeping it up
Discrimination of the sexes
You're a catalyst. Feeding the norm
With all these little words
You're a catalyst. Induce a reaction
Pass it on to your friends
You're a catalyst. Look at yourself,
whatever made you so susceptible...
For catalysm...

There’s gonna be a fall of your system
There’s gonna be a fall in your ways
Freedom surrendered to your establishment
Tricking the people that you represent
Forgetting a leader should be reliable
Public exposure the core of your final plan
TV-shows, you own them……delinquency!
Everytime I look at your system, I hope it rots!!
Elected by a correlation… a suggestive choice
Take in account your work is a lie
Well, does it feel good to you??
