you know, us working together?
Trying to bring peace and unity
back to a nation so severed.
It used to be that we were the ones
people could turn to for hope,
yet now our own kids are starving in the streets
and politics just doesn't want to cope.
There was once we stood proud, and tall
but now we bow our heads, ashamed,
the future isn't looking any brighter
as everyone's trying to pass on the blame.
Now the question as ever remains
where should we continue on from here
once, such a strong people
consumed now, but our own fear.
This nightmare brought on by selfishness
finding ourselves eclipsed by hate
wondering now about dreams forsaken
and praying, maybe one day, it won't be too late.
