Only One Who Sees - Kiko Lopez

I don't know what it means to be

A president or even a king

All I know is that I'm tired of being the only one who sees

That no matter what we do

Whether we're voting or staging a coup

There's people always using you

I got friends, I got foes

I got problems nobody knows

But no matter what I do

I just can't seem to let go

I got power, I got pain

A heavy heart I can't explain

They got lies, they got control

But I won't let them take my soul

They say freedom's in the vote

But tell me what's the use

When the rules are set in stone

And the truth's just a ruse

I'm shouting out but no one hears

Drowned in waves of all their cheers

For leaders turning blind eyes

While hope fades and reason dies

I got no place left to go

No face I can show

But the weight of the world's hanging on

So please just don't let go

I got friends, I got foes

I got problems nobody knows

But no matter what I do

I just can't seem to let go

I got power, I got pain

A heavy heart I can't explain

They got lies, they got control

But I won't let them take my soul

I got no place left to go

No face I can show

But the weight of the world's hanging on

So please just don't let go

I got friends, I got foes

I got dreams they'll never know

But the weight of the world's hanging on

So please just don't let go

Oh I got friends, I got foes

I got dreams they'll never know

They got power and money for show

But no matter what this fire inside

Won't let me lay low

In silence lies will hide

Missed in the cracks of their divide

They sell hate to fuel the fire

While we carry the weight of their pride

We trade the chains for cheaper things

Live a life only they can deem

But I'm holding tight to something true

A world they can't break through

And as these walls start closing in

With their heads down and holding hands

Selling fear is the weapon they like to disguise as pride

But my spirit is strong
