lyrics

By starlight, the midnight appears,
the skies a sudden purple and blue.
In the alley, a scream falls upon deaf ears.
Another child dies, yet we still view the sky.
How long will it take for us to show emotions?
The decline of stability, yet we go through the motions.
“That’s the way it goes” comes out the mouths of those
who never make a change,
those who never scream like the child did that day.
In light of the devastation of a home,
the child’s cries replaying on video,
a parent’s heart broken, will she ever cope?
A little sibling who will never know.
What do we do in a world with no heroes?
Marginalized people with no microphones,
young teenage girls taken at thirteen years old,
I’ll change the theme of this song so we’re not sad anymore.
Don’t like it? Turn the radio off,
go out into the world, bang the drum.
Change your world to change the fate
of another child for today.
