Don’t be complacent,
Just for complacency’s sake.
What is wrong,
Is wrong,
Is wrong.
And if you cannot say it,
Ask yourself this,
What would it take for you
To see what’s at stake here?
When would you say enough
Is enough,
Is enough?
Listen to the echo of discontent.
Lately, I cannot hear
Anything but the roar
Of eons of suppressed silence
Telling me to speak up,
To speak up,
To speak up,
Especially, when it is the hardest
Especially, when it is needed the most.
I remember that night
The winds touched me by
Taking pieces of me away
Leaving traces behind
Did the wind carry me to you?
Could you find me in the pieces that blew?
Were you there to hold me down?
That night my world turned around?
I whispered your name brokenly
Hoping beyond hope you’ll hear me
Only you knew how to bring me back
Without you there was no way back
Did the winds carry my voice?
Could you hear what I ever said?
Were you there to help me pick up my life?
That night I so earnestly cried?
You lied
How could you never try?
Why did you put me aside?
You broke
Whatever was left inside
Whatever that made you mine
