How many times a broken heart
Have to break before it stops to start?
How long when tears are cried and fears
Assigned will they continue to grind our minds
We hold to fear 'cause it makes sense
Then we're attacked by our defense we
Defend the fence that locks us in
So what protects us when we remain to stay
Beaten down and oppressed as we
Continue to stay obsessed as the
Issue remains unadressed how
Long can fear protect us while we sit around
Without a sound not speaking up
With voices raised and passions ablaze
A nobler thing there never will be
Than a man who for his cause would give himself
Unquestioningly
