The Truth

It's getting hard for me to rise above
When everyone around refuses love
There's no more waiting for the time to come
If you don't feel the need to get this done

'Cause I don't want to see the children ignored
When just a new life is all they look for
How terrifying that this country is owned
By hypocrites that only think of their own

Now is it right
That we should go on
Without a care
Knowing what these
Children's lives are worth
While we just stop and stare?
Now tell me does that
Break your heart?
But do you know
The tragic part
Is that you know it's wrong
But you really just don't care

Now it's getting hard for me to see the light
Because we refuse to see eye to eye
Maybe our viewpoints aren't perfectly aligned
But don't you still get tingles down your spine?
Just think if it were you inside their shoes
Could you even think of all the abuse
You must endure and just to finally see
That as long as you're alive
You can't be free

But is it right
That I allow something so inhumane
To happen to this little child
'Cause I can't feel their pain?
Now did you mean to get them help
Or were you just waiting for someone else?
Whether it's me or you
You ought to know the truth
Whether it's me or you
You ought to know the truth
