Migration Dreams

Over one hundred days They say it has been Since 45 proudly declared Separating migrating families At the U.S. Mexican Border "What twisted redemption lies here?" [Chorus] The lies keep piling And now Like a broken promise They begin to fester "Didn't you know?" [Chorus] Power left unattended goes sour Left in the wake of a financial test "Left to fight for the same resources" [Chorus] So coldness has a familiar face The apocalypse may sooner arrive "For those who welcome a quick ending" [Chorus] But we are only breaking To make way for higher understanding "We will be seen through and through" [Chorus] The world ends without you It ended when they took us from you When they cursed at you and called you filth "The world ended" [Chorus] When they said you weren't worthy of the investment Not worthy of process "The world ended" [Chorus] When they anticipated your death before your salvation "When they tear gassed your freedom" [Chorus] Before a question "Before anticipation of the ruin" [Chorus] But questioning will continue "For the sake of advancement" [Chorus] For all the gripped silence Meant to keep secrets sealed away "Feel the never ending pulse" [Chorus] Of every heart you sent to an early grave "Feel the delay" [Chorus] Of how each and every time we were made to look away "Out of powerlessness" [Chorus] Take back your power "Take back power" [Chorus] We are the healing we so long anticipated Only together can we "Take back power" [Chorus] In the wake of this terrorizing hour "Take back power" [Chorus] With love and forgiveness that does not forget With alliances far nobler than one could ever dream of "We are the sun" [Chorus] Like the forsaken dawn Who answers to no one
