Discovering Tomorrow's Balance
Lyrics
One of these days someone told me
Reflecting on advice received about discarding an old red shirt.
“you know, you better take off this old red shirt before we go”
Questioning the significance of removing the red shirt before proceeding.
I wondered where he wanted to get to
Curiosity about the destination or purpose suggested by the person.
And suddenly I realized how far we got to forget about love
Realization of how distant society has become from the concept of love.
If we think that “I” is what matters most
Highlighting the danger of prioritizing the self ('I') and neglecting collective concerns.
and it’s okay to put it all away, then we are lost, and now
Expressing the loss and confusion when individualism prevails, leading to being 'lost'.
We can’t speak up, move it for ourselves
Emphasizing the inability to express oneself or take action independently.
Why is it? Why is your goal to fool me?
Questioning someone's deceptive intentions and goals.
What we gonna have for tomorrow?
Pondering the choices and challenges that the future holds.
Are we gonna move forward or we gonna keep fighting here?
Contemplating whether to progress or continue struggling in the present situation.
And what do you expect for tomorrow?
Inquiring about expectations for the future and the possibility of finding equilibrium.
Are we gonna have hunger or we gonna find balance here?
Exploring the dichotomy between experiencing hunger and achieving balance in the future.
How can you run away from something?
Questioning the avoidance of challenges and responsibilities.
Don’t you realize that’s against all we stood for?
Highlighting the contradiction in running away from challenges against principles held.
You’re acting like if everyone will get ya
Observing behavior as if expecting everyone to oppose or criticize.
But all you’re gonna have is a simplified view of what’s going ON!
Warning about having a simplistic and distorted view of ongoing situations.
If we think that “US” is what matters most
Stressing the importance of prioritizing collective interests ('US') over individual concerns.
and it’s okay, we’re the same so we can start from now
Encouraging unity and a fresh start by acknowledging commonality among people.
We can speak up, move it for ourselves
Empowering individuals to speak up and act for themselves.
Everything we need is right here, so trust me
Asserting that everything needed is already present, advocating trust.
What we gonna have for tomorrow?
Revisiting the question of choices and challenges for the upcoming day.
Are we gonna move forward or we gonna keep fighting here?
Considering the decision between progress and persistent conflict.
And what do you expect for tomorrow?

Are we gonna have hunger or we gonna find balance here?

What we gonna have for tomorrow?

Are we gonna have hunger or we gonna find balance here?
