lyrics

Wake up, wake up, I hear the sound
Let me dream for a bit longer
Oh how I miss the bliss of my mother’s kiss
Before I knew about the others

So rarely here I’m allowed to reflect
Innocence is trusted no more
Because we now know what the world does to
Little boys who don’t become the storm

I grasp and reach for anything
That would bring back the comfort of old
But something touched back without remorse
such purpose warm yet so cold

I think I get it now, this strength and power
Gives me what I couldn’t ever be
Such drive, We’ll do what our parents failed to
And what our leaders would not decree

They used to gift me blows, but now their blood with flow
I can lock these thoughts away for good
Now my fears have bite, they can hide in plain sight
None can question me any longer
