lyrics

what - if we die?
how - did we relate?
where - should we go?
when - will be too late?

the safety of thousands forfeited for our care
as the countless dead unsung are carried off
filling morgues on wheels with no one there to mourn
treated like the infection that took them away.

crying out
dying out
it was all right there
we chose not to hear…

crying out
dying out
….and now with hope amidst the fear…

we’re all crying out
we’re dying out
...will we throw it all aside….

we’ve been crying out
and dying out
will we stand alone, while our worlds collide

…..all power corrupts when we give it away
we plant the seed
…..all power corrupts when we give it away
amidst a double standard
…..all power corrupts when we give it away
how did we lose our humanity
…..all power corrupts…..

let these long days lead me home
let the lies told lead me home
let the darkness lead me
these sad days leave me
let new ways lead me home

is that where i belong?
where should I go now?
and who should I become?
I can’t find my way

let the lives lost lead me home
let a light on lead me...home

leaving even one behind means losing our whole selves
helping up, not pushing down, let the weakest be our strength
the walls that held us in teach us to tear down separations
an opportunity for the reversal of our ways

reach…
what can we learn
we can't go back
what could we lose
we can't go back
with what we know
we can't go back
