Chaos

Oh, say can you see them

As they wait for us to save them

It’s too late

We’re busy fighting just

For our own sense of pride

What a perfect day  

When one gives way 

To love and love equates to hate

When someone’s brave enough

To wade through all the lies

When will we go beyond what is known

Is there anyone here who cares anymore

What we’ve done, what we do will (can) not be ignored

And the (your) future will suffer the lie

That we are free

From the corner of my eye

I see a sign saying “Unwelcome”

Go away you are not wanted

You don’t need a better life

There’s a man and man who suffer

For another who would rather see

Them falter than recover

Who will stand up for their right?

As the hate rings out tonight

All we do is close our minds

To the madness that unfolds in waves

Right before our eyes

As you’re warm and safe tonight

Think of all who we’ve left behind

And know your rights

While you are free
