Broken Children

I saw you give them your light
I saw them take it away
I saw you give up your fight
and not a word did you say


I watched what seemed for hours
I watched it burn to the ground
I watched them build their towers
Now solitude cant be found

I saw the blue sky turn gray
My eyes they fell to the sound
I saw what soon would betray
The rising dust all around 

There are no words to express
I could see they were afraid
Forgotten not these opressed
Whos worth is yet to be weighed
(cont'd)

 





Stand fast, hold on, these dreams for broken children
Dont let them see the bones of those who tried before
There is a place that calls for all those broken children
Where they dont hafta hide who they are anymore

Stand fast, hold on, these dreams for broken children
Dont let them see the bones of those who tried before
There is a place that calls for all those broken children
You wont hafta suffer here anymore

(narration)
Its hard to imagine this place before their ships came.
Its hard to imagine rivers and streams clear and flowing with life,
are a cesspool of what now represents the truth what they really came for.
Nothing will stand in the way of their destruction.
It would all be so easy to change.
But how do you change greed?
How do you change selfishness?
How can we ever come to a place where division is set aside forever?
And realize, we are all one.
