The People, Please

I just want the people, please
If you want me on my knees
Praying to the sky
Then don’t let humanity die
Give me voice and give me room
Let them know help is coming soon
To relieve them of their pain
Because they are in tents with rain
Or burned to a cinder
No hope for people to remember
And it’s not just in one zone
It’s when people forget their home
And try to take something else
Because they’re lacking inner wealth
I watched it in my own veins
I felt it in a hundred tear stains
That fell upon my cheeks
Until I was tired and weak
And running from the gulf between us both
I want to be someone people can quote
When they need inspiration
And the tv station
Is no help to us
It just measures broken trust
And relates all the confusion
I watch the skin go blue with bruising
When the pressure was applied
And people died
And I cried
And mourned in my room
Candles to ward off the doom
That would just circle the fray
I was not okay
But I’d be damned if I’d let anyone see
Coz my pain was precious to me
Til God split the sky
Said; “child of mine, they do not die
They are just returned
To the place where death is burned”
And I could feel this holy light
Lift me up and I was alright
So I put one front in front of the other
And found strength enough to catch my brother
When I felt his weight slip
And reach for rifles to equip
His pain with something he could touch
But I whispered, “I love you so much”
And he let the artillery fall
And where there once was a wall
Now there is open space
And we embrace
All of the time
He is not mine
And I’m not his
We are each other’s and we live
In peace, how do we share
This with others, do we dare
To be the mountainous refuge
They say to run but I refuse
To be bitten by the wild
Coz within I am just a child
And see everything in the hue
Of my love for all of you
