On Falling Leaf

I watch him cry,
And hold onto his legs as mother waits outside for her son to come.
I've seen to much.
I haven't seen enough.
You haven't seen enough until you have seen a family breaking up.

(no one.)
It's like nothing that you've felt before.
(No one should ever feel like...)
(like this)
I'll cry, but my tears won't lock the doors.
(no one...)
It's like throwing away all of those years.
(no one should ever live like this.)

I'll cry,
But my tears won't keep you here,
Or keep us together.
Fathers and Mothers,
Know that your sons and your daughters
Might walk a road that is harder
Because of the choices you've made
Or the ones that you make.
And we have lived with your blood on our hands.
What we've been waiting for now...
Now it's our chance.

We will stand,
Sisters and brothers,
From broken homes and broken lovers.
We will fight for something true,
And we will stand for something true.

(no one.)
It's like nothing that you've felt before.
(no one should ever feel like...)
(like this)
I'll cry, but my tears won't lock the doors.
(no one...)
It's like throwing away all of those years.
(no one should ever live like this.)
I'll cry, but my tears won't keep you here or us together

Where others have failed,
we will make it.
Where families derail,
We won't lose track.
We'll start a trail,
Our kin will take it.
We'll fight tooth and nail when lies attack.

Falling Leaf.
