Words

How can you hang your head and let it all go by?
When you hear the hunger and you hear the cries?
Strongman pointing at who to blame
Come on in child they only got rain
How can you chant the words of fear
The pain they cause ain’t welcome here
Shadow to shadow the hate remains
Come in child they only got rain

We’re part of the spill we’re part of the stain
Come on in child- they only got rain
Can you hear the old ghosts in their old refrains?
Come on in child they only got rain
The lies and excuses they sound the same
Come on in child they only got rain
Can you hear the old ghosts in their old refrains?
Come on in child they only got rain
Come on in child they only got….rain

How can you say both sides are the same?
That same old hate in a brand new frame
The poison enters a third of our veins
Come on in child they only got rain
How can you ignore and look away?
Don’t save your anger for another day
Hope all hope must be reclaimed
Come on in child they only got rain
