Lyrics
We lost ourselves again today
When human nature relies on fury
To take the pain away
We’re losing sight of what it means to care
Destroying random constructs
When the real target is too big to dare
[Chorus]
And we hurt so bad
And it’s hard for us to keep from getting mad
So much anger
So much pain
While all across the nation
Innocent lives are being slain
So we kneel
So we shout
Trying in vain to find a way to help us all break out
The cities turn to ashes here
But there’s a fire in our hearts
That’s burning brighter than our fear
They underestimate our will to thrive
Despite a world of hate
We are resilient and even more alive
[Repeat Chorus]
From this world on fire
