Truth: greatest weapon?

I'm learning how to live again without the uptight, comparing and compromises I hated deep inside. Somehow I see the heart and soul of those around me more clearly and it's like the blinds are gone and the light is shining through a window. My guilt, regret and failures seems to have washed away. And I want the truth like this song. I want to be a 21st Century kid. Ironically this You-Tube video contributor chose beautiful eyes to go with the song. 

Just to illustrate how I feel, when I started to swim again, it felt a little daunting to go nearly everyday. My legs would be tired as it was the last time I swam so often. I literally relearned how to swim using more upper body, flowing with the water and not kicking so hard. Swimming at least 6 days a week is just like waking up and I feel so free the whole day.  A little like the life we were meant to live.

"21st Century Kid"

There's maybe a way I can tell you
'Cos with everyday things continue
To get more compromised,
So who will fantasise
A new generation politicised

When things are done in our own name
Are we as much to blame?
Now it's become clear to me,
But only lately
And the ground is removed underneath

Shout it from the brink,
You're louder than you think

[Chorus:]
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion,
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Your weapon

Nothing is certain except a memory
And that's soon washed away by a low sea
Now sit yourself down my one
And see what you become,
Ignoring a smouldering gun

The white dove's flown
D'ya think we're on our own?

[Chorus:]
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion.
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
21st century kid, you're surrounded by illusion and confusion.
So maybe if you're holding out for the truth now,
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Could it be the greatest weapon?
Your weapon
