VERSE 1: we rise from the ashes like a phoenix // reborn, change your tune // it’s a remix // won’t consume like the masses, we’re the beatniks // they go against what’s odd, but can’t defeat it // and nothing can stop us now // the way I feel, like we’re flying atop the clouds // we keep it real // stay true // never kneel // pay dues // faith in God and nothing can break us down // we came through the tunnel // now we’re in the Light // it was a spiritual Struggle // but we’ve gained the Sight // this has got to be Right // it just can’t be Wrong // we can live a new life // and we can sing a new song // keep dreaming on // we can change the Earth // first we change ourselves // realize our worth // it’ll never be worse // than how it was before // it’s a gift and a curse // but still we’ll always endure // CHORUS: if you // only change your mind // then you // you can change yourself // and if we // if we change ourselves // then we // we can change the world // VERSE 2: put it in your mind // feel it in your Soul // it’s a matter of time // before we reach the goal // behold the power of thought // to shape realities, but triviality’s taught // society is bought and sold // consume to tomb // do what we ought when told // break free // change your mental constitution // join me // it’s internal revolution // yeah, I see you’re feeling it now // and you’re wondering how // well let me break it on down // reality’s a matter of perception // your conception of the world is a reflection // of your thoughts // what you think is what you see // you see your mind is the link and it’s the key // so change your mind, change your mood // and your whole attitude // this is a healthy portion of that thoughtful food // BRIDGE: what you think, you speak // you speak, you do // what you do eventually becomes you // what you think, you speak // you speak, you do // what you do continually becomes you // what you think, you speak // you speak, you do // what you do habitually becomes you // think // speak // speak // do // thoughts, inevitably become you // *CHORUS* // VERSE 3: can you feel it in the air // the changing winds // we don’t ever have to fear // cause the pain’ll end // shared dreams like Inceptions // with new ideas and tools, create perfection through perception // these gestalt shifts will change our worlds // and that’s plural “worlds” // for all the boys and girls // cause your reality is different from mine // and making it better is a matter of mind // still nothing will break us down // we have the power to determine our fate from now // say it with me and together we’ll take the vow // never worry cause united we’re safe and sound // speak your mind, but be mindful of your thoughts // know your worth, you can never be bought // won’t conform cause we’re the new beatniks // and we rose from the ashes like a phoenix // *BRIDGE* // OUTRO: when you // finally change your mind // then you // you will change your world
