[00:00:07] 第一次制作请见谅！

[00:00:13] yeow!!!!

[00:00:18] so!

[00:00:19] in the beginning

[00:00:20] there was a hum

[00:00:21] from a poet whose pulse fell

[00:00:22] drum drum drum!

[00:00:24] he would perform prayers and all

[00:00:24] till one day he heard a voice call

[00:00:27] come come come!

[00:00:28] sus'pi'cious he moved

[00:00:29] with vicious caution

[00:00:30] dismisses,

[00:00:31] he thinks is a little often

[00:00:33] people get held back

[00:00:34] by the void inside 'em.

[00:00:36] yo!

[00:00:38] the void said,

[00:00:38] i'm poised to speak inside you...

[00:00:40] "rejoice then ...please let me invite you

[00:00:42] ...to evil, greed and lies too."

[00:00:46] yeah!

[00:00:47] confused and dazed

[00:00:48] he moved in ways

[00:00:49] he soon became "hakuna"

[00:00:49] boom boom boom

[00:00:51] a knock on his door, his heart is no more

[00:00:53] a knock on his door, his soul is no more

[00:00:58] yeah...

[00:01:02] that was in the beginnin'

[00:01:07] as the story goes on...

[00:01:12] so -

[00:01:13] the poet’s got a proposal

[00:01:14] he would always hope but never know

[00:01:16] what it feels

[00:01:17] to be free

[00:01:18] he would be the frozen

[00:01:19] imposed as the chosen,

[00:01:20] all laws oppose him

[00:01:21] but it would be greed

[00:01:22] that’s got him there

[00:01:24] he's power-hungry,

[00:01:25] and proud too

[00:01:27] people don’t care, he will just care

[00:01:29] evil don't care, he will just prayer...

[00:01:35] yeah

[00:01:37] that was in the beginning..

[00:01:40] there was a hum

[00:01:44] ...then things changed

[00:01:48] yeah

[00:01:49] they say-

[00:01:50] it is better to light a candle than to curse the dark

[00:01:51] in the eyes of the youth

[00:01:53] there are question marks

[00:01:53] like freedom

[00:01:54] freedom for the mind and soul,

[00:01:56] we don't see them

[00:01:57] see them for their worth at all,

[00:01:58] that’s why we lead em

[00:01:59] lead em to these wars

[00:02:00] and what is it we feed em

[00:02:01] feed em our impurities

[00:02:02] and who it is we treat em

[00:02:03] treat em like the enemy

[00:02:04] humanity will need em

[00:02:05] need em like the blood we spill

[00:02:07] and we're freedom

[00:02:08] freedom for the hearts we fill

[00:02:09] we mislead em

[00:02:10] they hunger for the love we give

[00:02:11] but we cheat em

[00:02:12] the guys beat him and all he wants

[00:02:13] is his freedom,

[00:02:15] so they defeat him,

[00:02:16] whatever spirit he’s got

[00:02:17] "beat him"

[00:02:17] and they teach him

[00:02:18] the rest of the world don’t need him

[00:02:19] and he believes

[00:02:20] in the disease that he’s heathen

[00:02:22] put up your fists if all you want is freedom

[00:02:24] put up your fists if all you want is -

[00:02:32] that was in the beginning...

[00:02:36] then things changed..

[00:02:43] yeah

[00:02:44] and we keep holdin' on,

[00:02:46] and we keep bein' strong...

[00:02:48] and we keep goin' on

[00:02:50] and on and on and on...

[00:02:53] and we keep holdin' on,

[00:02:55] and we keep bein' strong...

[00:02:58] and we keep goin' on

[00:03:00] and on and on and on...

[00:03:03] and we keep holdin' on,

[00:03:05] and we keep bein' strong...

[00:03:07] and we keep goin' on

[00:03:09] and on and on and on...

[00:03:12] and we keep holdin' on,

[00:03:14] and we keep bein' strong...

[00:03:16] and we keep goin' on

[00:03:18] and on and on and on...
