My first "protest" song?

Hey guys, I'm back. Been enjoying some of your work, too!
I made a song, really simple, and here are the lyrics to it. I'll leave the interpretation up to you.
Black smoke fills the skies
Amidst the echoes of a scream
The eyes of a friend
Are the eyes of the enemy
At least, that's how they seem
Streets full of unknown people
Are they here for a reason?
I want to believe it so
But they won't follow, so who do I trust?
Another day, in a mad season
Chorus:
All I want to see is
A beautiful day
When I can run in freedom
On a beautiful day
Maybe someday
Break:
Stop trying to decide upon
Who's to take the blame
I'm only trying to get by
We're only trying to get by
Don't put the blame on me
I don't want to point my fingers at you
I'm only trying to get by
Tears won't make a difference
Neither will a prayer
Let us look for a path to the future
One we can walk to share
No more of this life
Chorus.
I guess that's not really a "protest" song, but it has my message in it. Thanks for reading.

If you can't get high on purely music and the sounds that you hear, you're missing out on something.
