Consumed by the same hate you despise
Do you like what you see
Beggars can’t be choosers
But sinners get to roam free
So tell me why we still pray
When we were abandoned along ways away
Stand up and fight for what is right or
Join the rest in this greed stricken world
In which we take pride
Am I wrong for trying
Am I at fault for fighting
I will not join the rest of them
Fall in line and be on a leash
This is not the way we were meant to live
This is not what freedom is
Though these flames may burn my tree of life
My roots keep me grounded and my heart alive
Part of the lyrics to a song I wrote for my band
Abandoned - Mafi
