lyrics

Blinded by people, blinded by faith,
Blinded by the corporations throwing about their weight
Blinded by religion, blinded by war
Blinded by the politicians settling their scores

Confused by people, disappointed with love
Why is it so many of just seem to have no luck
Hurt by decisions, withdrawn with pain
Frightened that life itself just seems to have no gain

Chorus:
Cause if we don’t write our own fait, If we don’t write our own fait
If we don’t open the blinds, it’s hard to be awake
If we don’t write our own fait, if we don’t write our own fait
If we don’t put down the lines, what destiny awaits

Saddened by conflict and filled with rage
Trying to mend the pieces of someone else’s game
Longing for closeness, but scared to touch
Surely we must reach the point when we have had enough

Chorus

Cause if we open our minds, and clean the slate
Take a step back from the fear
If we open our minds, what can we create, what can we create
What can we create

Encouraged by people, enriched by faith
Enlightened by the corporations throwing about their weight
Supported by religion, educated through war
Empowered by the politicians settling their scores

Cause when we write down our own fait, when we write down our own fait,
When we open up the blinds, we keep ourselves awake,
When we write down our own fait

It's time to write down, it's time to write down yeh
It's time to write down, lets start writing down our own fait
Lets start writing our own fait
