Reaching the Potential

A scholar's wit in a boxing ring Went floating by on a hummingbird wing Wide enough to guide you in With the sun in our eyes we started shivering Any way we know how We're going to get our bellies full By living on a fault-line Are we reaching our potential? Animals in cages Actors on a payroll Maybe in our lifetime Are we reaching our potential? When you reach your potential We reach our potential We'll be laughing with our bellies full We're tyrants on a soap box With orders for the frontline We're fighting for our children Are we reaching our potential? A romance in a rainstorm To cut across enemy lines I love you do you love me? Are we reaching our potential? Orders for the frontline Living on a fault-line Maybe in your lifetime Maybe in your lifetime
