No Acceptance
Gideon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How could this place go from being so welcoming,
to shutting doors in everyone's face?
This used to be the only place
That I could go to get away from all of my problems
Now it's the source
What happened to the love that was left
From the leaders set before us?
All we need is the will to change
The will to make an effort
To accept anyone no matter the situation
To have our doors open to anyone
that is wanting to know what it's like to have a home
To have someone listen to them
To have someone relate to them
You have no idea the amount of impact you could make

We can be the change
It's like you got it in your mind
That we should stay the same
Selfishness is not the way
Deliver us from our prideful waste
We can be the change
You gotta get it out of your mind
We can change

Throw your egos away, you won't be needing them anymore
You're just leading them astray from what they need
A sense of family, the feeling of hope
We need to get back to the love we used to know

We can be the change
It's like you got it in your mind
That we should stay the same
Selfishness is not the way
Deliver us from our prideful waste
We can be the change
You gotta get it out of your mind
We can change

They can try and stop us
But we will not back down
We will be the change
They will not stop us
They will not slow us down
We will be the change
We'll make our voices heard




And we'll let them know
I am the change
