Begin with good intentions Attention to the hopeless Crusader for the cause But the cause can cost a lot And the sense it seems to slip It slips in what we say And we lose our way Words can move a million But a million compromises Weaken your resolve And resolve can cost a lot When you're listening to arrows Pointed words may sway And we lose our way Pandering to power Power of protection Sell the future short And giving all we've got And the posters fade to silence And the words they rot away And we lose our way We try, we try To change minds Despite the love we made We lose our faith
