Huddled Masses
This is the end
Of a silence I can no longer defend
Our brothers are in peril
Foreign tongue, darker skin
We refuse to let them in
Wall them off, send them back
Gorge ourselves on everything they lack
Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat
Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me
Cover your ears to silence the outcry
Deaf to the plight of anyone outside
Swallow any sympathy but don't choke
Dress it all up in patriot pretense
Slam the gate shut and pledge your allegiance
To whichever one sends them home
Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat
Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me
Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat
Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me
Of a silence I can no longer defend
Our brothers are in peril
Foreign tongue, darker skin
We refuse to let them in
Wall them off, send them back
Gorge ourselves on everything they lack
Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat
Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me
Cover your ears to silence the outcry
Deaf to the plight of anyone outside
Swallow any sympathy but don't choke
Dress it all up in patriot pretense
Slam the gate shut and pledge your allegiance
To whichever one sends them home
Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat
Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me
Their hearts are beating
Their hopes adrift in reverie
They dream of possibilities
Awake, asleep, repeat
Oh, I can see them
These huddled masses yearning to breathe free
They look a lot like you and me
