Together we sit side-by-side
Determined to make the best of it
Determined to wear a cheerful face
Determined to believe hope still exists
One day we tell ourselves we will rise
And let our voice be heard
Together we sit side-by-side
Telling ourselves this is not our fault
Telling ourselves there was nothing we could do
Telling ourselves this too will pass
One day we tell ourselves we will rise
And our voice be heard
Together we sit side-by-side
Watching our dreams be destroyed
Watching our hopes vanish
Watching our families fade
As the doors slam closed and the night sky falls
With no moon or stars to light our way
Too late to save anything
Too late to demand more
Too late to make a difference
Yet, still we sit. | HB
Beautiful!
