I thought this must be
The place for you and me
Live a like and unlike
And in love harmony
Now I cannot scream or fight no more
The bodies burn in the streets
Choke on the soot and feed
Flames with the flowers they deserve but
Now cannot see
Thought for so long our home to be
A heavenly hill they wanna climb up into
But no it’s just the Hell that they crawl up until
At the top we tell them get out die don’t matter to me
The start of the end looked a lot like the rest
Low engagement despite divisiveness
Just saw no difference to the cruel treatment
Of the ones who had brought my pigment to this privileged seat
Now I dread just to think they’d forgot your names
Felipe Alonzo-Gomez, Jakelin Call Maquin
And your ages barely added up to thirteen
Kept you in cages now you won’t live for the dream
Itemized now I idolize who you could’ve been
Next generation suffed by incompetence
Legal injustice astray in the office
Jesus how’d all of it come to this
You ain’t seen the half of it
You’d never hoped for, I forsake the foreseen
I’m sorry I’m sure you never had to face it before
Face it this is a war they have fought just to be
Alive like you and me in the home of the brave
And the land of the free
Now you’ll take what you’re given and use it like me
Like the megaphone it is, you will repeat this
You won’t forget this, only so much we’ll
Now I cannot scream or fight no more
Cry out in the cold mining old country gold
To profit from war
