Lyrics:

There's a young man walking down the street,
His dreams washed down the gutter.

You're not good enough, not rich enough,
and you'll never ever make it

He's been trying so hard, he's been trying so long,
but he just can't get it right.

There's a corporate monster, a mainstream hunter,
and he will never stop you.

Touch the Sky, touch the Sky with a new song.
Sing it out loud "This is the Alternative".
Raise your voice, raise your voice to a new dawn.
Sing it out loud "This is the Alternative".

There's a secondhand store with a broken sign,
inviting him to come in.

You need the best of this, and the best of that,
before you can chase your dreams

So he wrote a song, a melody,
he didn't care what anyone thinks.

The corporate giant, the mainstream,
couldn't stop his dreams

.....falling and crawling and get up again,
the struggle is coming but it's not the end.

Touch the Sky, touch the Sky with a new song.
Sing it out loud "This is the Alternative".
Raise your voice, raise your voice to a new dawn.
Sing it out loud "This is the Alternative".

Touch the Sky, touch the Sky with a new song.
Sing it out loud "This is the Alternative".
Raise your voice, raise your voice to a new dawn.
Sing it out loud "This is the Alternative".

I like the afrikaans songs coming in, makes me also want to try and write an afrikaans song next time. Only started to listen to some afrikaans songs (mostly old songs) recently.

guidothepimmp I heard an earlier version of this (sneaky sneaky), but I love the way it came out! Glad you posted the version with vocals, and as always your guitar work is something to be envious of.

Uh oh, your track shows not available on soundcloud. Can you please re-link? Thanks
