"We said our dreams would carry us , And if they don't fly, We Will Run..."

I can't wait for Santigold's new album "Master of My Make Believe" to be released this May. "Disparate Youth" is one of her first singles off of the album. The message behind this song is about fighting for what you believe in, for  the goals you'd like to accomplish, and the dreams you have that others may frown upon or deem as "impossible." It's an inspiring song,  as well as artistically and visually pleasing video. We need more artists like Santigold. Love it.

Lyrics:
Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather 
Another roadblock in our way 
But if we go, we go together 
Our hands are tied here if we stay 

Oh, we said our dreams would carry us 
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out 
Oh how to win what they all lost

Oh ah, oh ah 
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah 
A life worth fighting for 
Oh ah, oh ah 
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah 
A life worth fighting for 

So let them say we can't do better 
Lay out the rules that we can't break 
They wanna sit and watch you wither 
Their legacy's too hard to take 

Oh, we said our dreams would carry us 
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out 
Oh how to win what they all lost

Oh ah, oh ah 
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah 
A life worth fighting for 
Oh ah, oh ah 
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah 
A life worth fighting for 

In their heads pledging their beds 
In their eyes it shows
When the freedom breaks 
Well then if you ask and they don't know 
Oh tell me that
I turn my back while the odds all stand beneath me 
And they all said I was mislead 
But now the odds all stand beneath me

Oh ah, oh ah 
We're frozen to the core
Oh ah, oh ah 
A life worth fighting for

Oh, we said our dreams would carry us 
And if they don't fly we will run
Now we push right past to find out 
Oh how to win what they all lost

Oh ah, oh ah 
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah 
A life worth fighting for 
Oh ah, oh ah 
We know now we want more
Oh ah, oh ah 
A life worth fighting for 

We hear them run but don't hear what you say
Now here we come can't throw nothing in our way
ay yo
We hear them run but don't hear what you say
Now here we come can't throw nothing in our way.
