Settlements
They live in the same world we live in
Deserving of the same life we're living
The same love and growth we've been given
Kids came home to tanks and forces with bulldozers
Parents bloodied and buried under debris
The anxiety and fear of soldiers with guns erasing their entire family
An impossible weight to carry on a child's shoulders
Others came home to a pile of rocks and dust
Air raids systematically wiping out an entire community while they sleep
Solaced coastlines eroding with friends' blood flowing out to the sandstone
All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming
Workers and families waiting in cages at gunpoint
Innocent adolescents stripped of innocence and ripped from their guardians
Illegitimate borders and military checkpoints
No sovereignty, no autonomy
Lobbyists funding suppression tactics behind the scenes
Skewed headlines painting pictures of justifiable force
Genocide and apartheid reads as newspeak pushed by fanatics
An ongoing ethnic cleansing and a looming promise of violence
Humiliating paperwork processing lines
Facial recognition scans to dehumanize and obliterate self-worth and dignity
An impossible world to love
An immovable threat of loss and the death of the unloved
All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming
Uneven bloodshed carried out methodically (They live in the same world we live in)
Malice unrestrained and aberrant (Deserving of the same life we're living)
Thought crimes for the marginalized
To exist is to be demoralized on a daily basis (The same love and growth we've been given)
Punished for where you were born and whose bodies you came from
An impossible world to love
All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming
No sovereignty no autonomy
All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming
No sovereignty, no autonomy to the heirs of a wretched inheritance
They live in the same world we live in
Deserving of the same life we're living
The same love and growth we've been given
Sovereignty and autonomy
They live in the same world we live in
Deserving of the same life we're living
The same love and growth we've been given
Sovereignty and autonomy
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
Deserving of the same life we're living
The same love and growth we've been given
Kids came home to tanks and forces with bulldozers
Parents bloodied and buried under debris
The anxiety and fear of soldiers with guns erasing their entire family
An impossible weight to carry on a child's shoulders
Others came home to a pile of rocks and dust
Air raids systematically wiping out an entire community while they sleep
Solaced coastlines eroding with friends' blood flowing out to the sandstone
All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming

The same love and growth we've been given
Sovereignty and autonomy
They live in the same world we live in
Deserving of the same life we're living
The same love and growth we've been given
Sovereignty and autonomy
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
An impossible world to love
