Voyager
E. Vedder Lyrics

If it were up to me I'd give the world hope
If I had the power, I would bring hope to the entire world.

But what's the deal though?
However, what is the current situation?

I'm seeing way too many people that just feel low
I am observing countless individuals who are experiencing low emotions.

It's out of my control but still it would be nice to be the hero
Although I cannot control the situation, it would still be satisfying to be the savior.

I can't even trust the water that's flowing down in the stream
I have lost faith even in the purity of the water flowing in the stream.

Human beings poisoned all the ravines
The actions of human beings have contaminated all the valleys.

But are we that distracted?
Are we truly so preoccupied and unaware?

We need to wake up the whole world collapsing
It is crucial to awaken to the reality that the entire world is deteriorating.

It'll crash, the world's spinning off of it's axis
The world is spiraling out of control; it is veering off its axis.

The rainforests are almost all ashes
The majority of the rainforests have been reduced to ashes.

And plus the kid who got picked on in the back of his classes just pulled up with a Mac 10 he blastin'
Furthermore, the student who was bullied in the back of his classes has arrived with a Mac 10 firearm, ready to attack.

But whatever most of us are relaxing and acting
Nevertheless, the majority of people are relaxed and pretending.

Like there ain't no consequences for actions
As if there are no repercussions for their actions.

And our excuse ain't even a good reason like really?
Moreover, our justifications are not valid reasons. Can you believe it?

Are my eyes believing what they are seeing
I question the validity of what my eyes witness.

We got to keep our eyes open
We must remain vigilant and aware.

Cuz we're blinded by all the hating
Because we are blinded by the overwhelming negativity and animosity.

It's a time that we should be concerned
This is a critical moment where we should express genuine worry.

To avoid the point of no return
In order to prevent reaching a situation from which it is impossible to recover.

If it were up to us man I would travel outside of this metropolis past what these binoculars could see
If we had the ability, we would venture beyond this city and explore beyond the limits of our vision.

And what we see be preposterous now
The sights we would encounter would appear absurd and incredible.

Follow me through this apocalypse come take a walk with us
Join me on this journey through the chaotic and devastating event.

Disease, contamination and toxic musk
We encounter illnesses, pollution, and harmful odors.

It's causing us to do lots of drugs I feel like I'm preaching a gospel now
These circumstances are leading us towards substance abuse, making me feel as if I am delivering a sermon.

I'm talking like an apostle now we all just need a common ground
I am speaking with the conviction of a religious figure, emphasizing the need for unity among us.

Too many people falling down just get back up and walk around be free
Numerous individuals are succumbing to their struggles, but they must rise again and find their freedom.

Free like a bird is feel like I got a purpose
I desire to be liberated like a bird and feel a sense of purpose.

Just flying over this circus that's full of lions and serpents
Soaring above this chaotic world filled with dangerous individuals and treacherous beings.

Only I know what my worth is even the dirt is Worth more than some of these items we purchase
Only I understand the value I possess, and even the soil beneath my feet holds more worth than certain material possessions we buy.

It's complex
It is a complicated matter.

One thing I know for certain the point of no returning...you won't find me U-turning
There is one thing I am certain of, and that is I will never turn back once I reach the point of no return.

I'm on to higher learning...I feel we all deserve it
I am dedicated to pursuing higher knowledge and I believe that everyone deserves the same.

I just don't wanna be trapped inside my mind
I simply do not want to feel confined within my own thoughts.

I can't believe my eyes are seeing what they are seeing
I am astonished by the things my eyes witness.

Well here I am I'm giving this all I got you know the motto it's either all or nothing
Here I am, giving my utmost effort; you know the saying, it's a complete dedication or nothing at all.

It's been a while since I been on a voyage myself
It has been a considerable amount of time since I embarked on a personal journey.

But you know what this could be the start of something
However, this could potentially be the beginning of a new endeavor.

What if it's all for nothing?
What if all my efforts were in vain?

What if the God above me decide not to love me?
What if the higher power chooses not to show me affection?

It feel like all he do nowadays is just try to judge me
It seems that all the higher power does lately is attempt to pass judgment on me.

Maybe it's from seeing all of this hurt... It must be
Perhaps, the higher power's reaction is influenced by witnessing the immense pain in the world.

But is that what I'm seeing
Is that truly what I am perceiving?

How am I not dead it feels like I'm hardly breathing
I question how I am still alive when it seems like I am barely able to breathe.

But I am it's these words feels like I'm hardly speaking
Yet, I am speaking, even though it feels as if my words have little impact.

Is my mind just a million falling pieces?
Is my mind simply a jumble of incoherent fragments?

Reaching different shores being on all these beaches
I find myself constantly searching for new experiences and exploring various environments.

Just to find out these lands hold secrets
Only to discover that these places conceal hidden truths.

I might need this
Perhaps, I require this realization.

What you call strength that's what I call weakness
What you perceive as strength, I consider it to be a weakness.

I know where I come from
I am aware of my origins.

I only begun
I have only just started.

But I'm on a journey that only concerns me
However, I am undertaking a personal journey that only involves myself.

Before who you become
It is essential to reflect on who you are about to become.

Take a look who you are
Examine your own identity.

Take a deep look inside and follow your pride
Delve deep within yourself and embrace your self-respect.
