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
