I watch and cry
and hold on to his legs
as mother waits outside
for her son to come.
I've seen too much.
I haven't seen enough,
You haven't seen enough,
Until you see the family breaking up.
No one (It's like nothing you've felt before)
No one should ever feel like...
Like this (I'll cry but my tears won't lock the doors.)
No one (It's like throwing away those years.)
No one should ever live like this,
And I'll cry but my tears won't keep you here,
Or keep us together
Fathers and mothers.
Know that your sons and your daughters,
they might, might walk a road that is harder
and it's because the choices you've made or the ones that you make.
And we have lived with your blood on our hands.
What we've been waiting for, now it's our chance.
We will stand, sisters and brothers
From broken homes and broken lovers.
We will stand for something now (stand for something...true!)
No one (It's like nothing you've felt before)
No one should ever feel like...
Like this (I'll cry but my tears won't lock the doors.)
No one (It's like throwing away those years.)
No one should ever live like this,
And I'll cry but my tears won't keep you here,
Or keep us together
Where others have failed,
We will make it.
Where families derail,
we won't lose track.
We'll start the trail,
our kin will take in.
We'll fight tooth and nail
When lies attack.
