Ignite

Adam Chhour

Thank you to everyone who made this video possible. From the talented actresses to DJNeverEndingStory for letting me remix his tracks into my own score for the film. I could not have done this without with my friends by my side and a passion for making the best possible film to enter. The society we live in today has never been more divided and I, as well as others, have felt the resentment and guilt for contributing to it. However, I remain hopeful that our generation carries the power to wield our future and steer us in the right direction. All we need to do is ignite their flames. "The world torn over war, Raged with such hatred, I see the world ending, No more pretending, That everything is fine. Everything's not fine. We live in a time, Where touchscreens, Keep us out of touch. Where social networking, Leads to less human connecting, Face to face, With faces lit from screens, Human beings become Mindless freaks, Too caught up in their own world, To notice our world -- A world bright with phones, Yet in the dark. The future generations, Of this great nation, Have been dimmed. Politicians, are the encapsulating lamp shade, That take away our say, Our bulbs light up with ideas, But left decayed, Stained by selfish agendas, Pretending to be in our interest, Enough looking to them for the best, We must look within our self, Deep beyond our chests Beyond our souls, Beyond their shadiness. So deceiving are their impositions. We can not be their ammunition, We can not assist their selfish ambition. They are ignoring the human condition; Money is their only mission Lies maintain their baseless positions. We must be the partition, We must create sedition. You see, we all have some suspicions, Countless inquisitions, About their well-funded expeditions, Get rid of all the preconditions. The system needs a demolition. We need to form a coalition -- Enough with greedy politicians. It is time to stop our inhibitions. They will not see our submission We must be the opposition. Listen - Politics aside, We are all alike, We all have hearts that beat, Lungs that breathe, And eyes that see, So don’t be blind to the fact, That people talk more than they listen, And listen to rebut, That people argue and deceive, And will receive no trust. Life is like a song, No song is ever sung wrong, With enough voice, We all have a choice, Of how we live our lyrical life, No set words can be a preset, To reset life's verse, With that being said, No more debating of, Wrong and right, Take a stand for what you believe in, But also understand the other side. For there is meaning behind every word every lyric in every verse, has sentimental mental worth. We must un-debate debating We must un- debate us Listen. Learn. Love. Talk. True. Trust. And we will have world’s Most beautiful chorus. Empathy will conquer hatred. Sympathy beats greed. See, The world needs us, To start listening, Instead of bickering, Instead of whining, Instead of winning, There is no winning, When we all lose, Truth be told, The world might end... No, The world needs to end, To start a new beginning, And it begins by listening." (Music remixed with permission from DJNeverEndingStory)
