Atticus

Is there a beacon still shining in the night?
Is there someone who's not afraid to do what is right?
Is there someone with more courage but not a gun?
Is there still light when the clouds cover sun?

Do we argue for the world that we love?
Or are we our own sacrificial dove?
Do we count the allies or just the enemies?
Do we need to take a step back and rethink?

Chances say we're gonna lose,
but our hearts know we should win
Why do we have to keep fighting for this?
I wish you had the answer, Atticus

Do we let our children find out in their own?
Or should we start to teach respect in our homes?
Do we let the innocence persist and dismiss
The chaos that our world is in?

We can't afford to lose,
And our hearts know we should win
It's hard to fight with our minds and not our fists
I wish you had the answer, Atticus

I know that there's a God above
And I look for Him down here
But other times I thank the saints
That are near

So maybe we should swap our shoes
And say hello to some new friends
We can walk around together and make amends
What should we do, Atticus?
