Words

Where were we when they died
Where where you when we cried
When we took our pride and showed up
Gathered unified, and full of love

Full of love so strong to fight the pain
The anger and the frustration
Keeping our backs 'cause we have no one
No one, besides us

You say things, you don't really mean
You have a lot of words, but it's just like dream
It's just a vision, plane projection
Without realization, there is no action

You say the things, you never really meant
You said them loud, only to be loved
To get approval, to get your like
To feel you've done your little part

Whose side are you on
Whose hand do you hold
This is bigger than you or me
Speak now or remain silent forever

But when they got us, they broke us up
They got us bleeding, they got us hurt
Where did you go?
Where have you been
Why are you silent
We need your voice

How could you not come and walk with us
To not show support
You betrayed us

You say things, you don't really mean
You have a lot of words, but it's just like dream
It's just a vision, plane projection
Without realization, there is no action

You say the things, you never really meant
You said them loud, only to be loved
To get approval, to get your like
To feel you've done your little part

I thank those who care
I thank those who came
I thank those who wrote
Who called and showed love
Those who cried with us
And who spoke up
Cause every voice is heard
Silence is the worst

You say things, you don't really mean
You have a lot of words, but it's just like dream
It's just a vision, plane projection
Without realization, there is no action

I got upset and disappointed
But I guess I am not surprised
I can see now very clearly
That our lives don't really matter
In the same light as others do
But maybe if they were heterosexuals
Praying in the church
Maybe then you'd shed a tear and say
I am here, I support you
