The Solution I never thought I'd be in this position Someone of worth, someone worth looking up to A person with a mission. It's time to be The positive pressure, Show others who follow our positive measures. Cause today Our actions speak louder, We'll turn our world into one we can be proud of. It's black or white, It's wrong or right, It's lay down and die Or you can stand up and fight Cause when you're waiting for change You miss your chance to become it; Stop hating the world Cause it's our turn to run it (It's our turn, it's our turn) It's our turn to run it. This is the part where you make your decision To be a part of the problem or A part of the Solution. So which side are you on It's black or white, It's wrong or right, It's lay down and die Or you can stand up and fight Cause when you're waiting for change You miss your chance to become it; Stop hating the world Cause it's our turn to run it (It's our turn, it's our turn) It's our turn to run it.

Cease Fire Right now I look around and I see The faces of my community; Just thinking of you is enough to fill me up with pride. But now our edges have started to fray And I can't just let that happen, walk away. I think it's our responsibility to make things right. So drop your weapon And take your brothers hand United we conquer Divided we break I know that this is not an easy step to take When we stand together and bury our hate, Can you imagine what a better world we'll make? It starts today. Selfish motives often override We've got to stop and look at what's inside. It's time we stepped back and we recognized the things we share Cause we're only as strong as we are united, Always as weak as we are divided; It's time we showed each other and our music we still care So drop your weapon And take your brothers hand United we conquer Divided we break I know that this is not an easy step to take When we stand together and bury our hate, Can you imagine what a better world we'll make? (x2) It starts today So open your heart. (Chorus repeat.)

Camden The sidewalks of Camden Are so much more dismal than I had imagined. And I hope that somehow you got out alive. Cause there are times in our lives, When the world is out to break us. But it's how we move forward that really shapes us. When I look back on what you've been through And I remember where I've been I know without a doubt That we are kin. I never had a chance to thank you for what you've done. Our best decisions often times are the hardest ones. And though our stories might be different, we share that pain Of finding it inside ourselves to change. We can be greater than the sum of the mistakes that we have made; You and I are gonna rise, You and I are gonna shine. And we'll look back on where we came from, We won't hang our heads in shame You and I are gonna rise, You and I are gonna shine We can be greater than the sum of the mistakes that we have made; You and I are gonna rise, You and I are gonna shine. And we'll look back on where we came from, We won't hang our heads in shame Cause you and I... Have won this for ourselves. And though I never may know you We were always together As we walked through hell. I've seen you in my hopes, and in my dreams, And in the fear that lies between the spaces of myself that struggle with hate and the part of my heart that knows it's never too late To take a chance on ourselves, have a life we deserve I hope with everything I have you've gotten your turn We're living in a world that makes us think that we're worthless I wanted you to know that your decision was worth it. We're greater than the sum Of the mistakes that we have made You and I are gonna rise, You and I are gonna shine. And we'll look back on where we came from We won't hang our heads in shame You and I are gonna rise You and I are gonna shine So bright. (The person we're becoming matters so much more than who we've ever been)
