They want
The Freedom but no responsibility
The Love without its sacrifice
The truth while speaking lies
They say
Be humble while they flaunt it
Be kind while they're being rude
Be yourself while hiding themselves
They know
How to hear but will not listen
How to fight but can't stand strong
How to overcome but won't let go.
They act
As if they know; while they are truly confused
As if they're happy; while they're feeling overused
As if they're confident; while searching for validation
They are
Us, the people of the generation.
Us, the people of the future.
Us, the people of now.
They will
Be taught lessons so they can know
Be shown signs on where to go
Be prosperous and learn to grow.
They do
What they feel is viewed as right
What it takes to survive this life
What they need to feel alive
