I'm Not The Only One
Mango's Daddy Lyrics

I don't feel the outrage the way I used to do
I no longer experience the same level of anger and indignation as I once did

I guess I'm not as worthy as I used to be
I think I am no longer as deserving or valued as I once was

Feeling invisible with each and every age
I feel increasingly unnoticed and disregarded as time goes on

Powers I used to know are eluding me
The abilities or influence I once possessed are slipping away from me

I am tired of this yearning
I am exhausted from longing for something different

And the masters I've been serving
And the authoritative figures I've been obeying or following

I may not be that deserving, but I've seen a thing or two
I may not be entirely deserving, but I have gained experience and wisdom

I know what it feels like to win sometimes
I am familiar with the sensation of occasional victory

And I know how it feels to lose
And I am acquainted with the feeling of defeat

I have walked a hundred thousand miles
I have metaphorically traveled a great distance

In ordinary shoes
Wearing common and unremarkable footwear

The world keeps spinning in spite of me
The world continues to rotate and progress regardless of my presence or influence

And I keep hanging on
Yet, I persist and persevere

I'm waiting for the change to come and I don't think I'm the only one.
I am waiting for a transformation to occur, and I believe there are others who share this sentiment

Apathy and fear of might poison all the passion
Indifference and fear of authority corrupt and extinguish all enthusiasm

The greedy ones win the fight, and we just let it happen
The selfish individuals emerge victorious in the struggle, while we simply allow it to unfold without resistance

Now after all these years we feel the great divide
After the passage of time, we sense a significant separation or disparity

The rich get richer and the rest of us get by.
The wealthy become even wealthier, while the rest of us merely manage to survive

I have watched my generation
I have observed my own age group

Lose its promise through the years.
Gradually relinquish the potential and aspirations it once held

We sang "Smile on Your Brother" and still we wound up here.
We proclaimed the importance of kindness and unity, yet we find ourselves in this unfortunate situation

I have walked a lifetime's worth of miles
I have metaphorically journeyed throughout the span of my existence

In these ordinary shoes
While wearing these unexceptional shoes

Waiting for the change to come and I know I'm not the only one.
Anticipating the arrival of transformation, and I am aware that others share this sentiment

I'm not the only one.
I am not alone in this belief
