Tenderness in the eyes that never smiles
I know I can be strong but I am so frail
I see the life I wanted to live
Been lived in grief and disbelief

We will survive as long as we can, despite the abuse
We will stand tall as long as we stand, blood infuse

People looking for salvation in a land of damnation
Learning from wrong, cultural starvation

What to say when no one understands the message?

If you could talk to them would they come out of the wreckage?
Numb as the dead, they walk around like empty shells
