Fight Forward

I must have slept for days
Through earthquake
the rapture
And the rains
Maybe I took a wrong train
Derailed into space
To a parallel town
With the same name
Everybody’s singing a sad song
Their eyes are empty and the feelings gone
This ain’t your home anymore
Take my hand, fight forward, this is war
The women used to dance
Now they are shamed
Burned like witches
Shackled and chained
I called your name
You turned away
I saw the scars
I saw you shake
Everybody’s singing a sad song
Their eyes are cloudy and the feelings gone
This ain’t your home anymore
Take my hand, fight forward, this is war.
Dream no more
Of some perfect era
Devoid of blatant ignorance and hate
That was never your time, your place
For your voice, your courage was destined for right now
The love that rages inside you is a flame that lifts the voiceless, ignites armies and rips the skies open
Dream no more
Rise! Oh rise!
For a the all mighty cowards sleep
The all mighty cowards weep
when that flame shimmers to create a bloom
Because that shimmer of hope is you.
Everybody’s singing a sad song
Their eyes are cloudy and the feelings gone
This aint your home anymore
take my hand, fight forward
this is war
