The Revolutionary SongA Poem by Lighthouse CallJust a few lyrics I scribbled down with no complete what-so-ever sense of structure.The little kid on the sidewalk Never got what he deserved His family pushed him around Whilst the anger he conserved When praying didn't work and Everyone turned their backs down He grew up on his own In an abandoned little town He wrote down his own music One of the few that helped him through And yet the judging people criticized him on that too So he put it all together and he gave it all he had He poured out his heart through the words he never said He strummed a little rhythm on his broken old guitar A sound that on the judge's hearts he engraved like a scar And through the song the people saw the damaged boy's life too They realized pointing fingers was a sin they always brew A song that changed every one's life if only I could write it too So today try to be better even if on your tongue you've gotta chew
