I see the walls crumble
As walls are going up
In the hearts of people
around the nation
the globe
Is it time for a rebirth?
Some want to go right
While others go left
Meeting at a crossroad
Of smears, jeers, and death
Society collides
I fail to recognize
The heart & soul of people
Full of love, now strife
Is this Life?
Yells, screams, names called
I feel too small
To shout over the pain
We're going the wrong way
Belittled
Destitute
The bottom of social class
Not enough fame to be famous
to make a difference
to change by leaving this game
Labels reign
Concerned about voter turnout
while people die on the streets
in isolation, loneliness, burnout
drugs, domestic violence
all in silence
as people behind the podium
cause a greater divide
Together we stand
Why are we falling
Uncover the truth of what's been stolen
Friendships, relationships
Consideration for the next
What type of Society have we become?
Strip away labels
we're all the same
instead of finding
where to cast blame
if we want to survive and thrive 'til tomorrow
we're going to have to love each other
despite what can pull us apart
stay together
or there will be nothing left
of the planet we call home
to be better
point the finger at self
