Obstructed View

To all you people standing proud

Thinking you know what I'm about

I think you can **** yourself

From your safe distance in this crowd

That's when your voice becomes so loud

Still trying to keep us down

Walk one mile in shoes I never asked to fill

But still press on

I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything

My hope, my faith, in what the future brings

In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down

We sing together now

Give me one reason to look in the eye (just one!)

Tell me exactly why it is that you think you are worth my time

I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything

My hope, my faith, in what the future brings

In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down

We sing together now

To all the ones that shake my hand

Then talk your **** behind my back

To those who claim they understand

But never heard a word of what I said

In spite of you I am still here

This vision has never been more clear

As we sing together now, oh

I slipped, I fell, then I lost everything

My hope, my faith, in what the future brings

In hopes of pushing past the ties that keep us down

We sing together now
