We keep in file, hide in the back, don't wish to stick out from the pack
We try and keep an equal tread, our inhibitions weighing down like lead

I know many people and they can do many things
I know many people and they can achieve many things

But they do it without their souls. Yeah, they do it with no love at all

The drum it beats, it wills to command, we stomp our feet in this marching band
We march the march that has no end, we travel straight, we do not bend

I know many people and they know many things
I know many people and they are blessed with many things

But when is their time to shine? And where is their place to shine?
Shine their light, right over, you and I! Shine their light before they die!

Don't think, don't doubt, don't shout it out, keep safe your place there in the crowd
Don't drag your feet, don't misbehave, don't stir a ripple, don't make a wave

I know many people and they could be many things
I know many people and they could change many things

but they choose to remain … unknown
but they choose to remain … unsung
but they choose to remain … unheard
but they choose to remain … unseen

cause they fear for their own skin
cause they fear for everything
cause they fear what life (living) may bring
cause they fear what life’s offering
