Powerless Lyrics

We are drowning

We are drowning in the lake that our forefathers made

Why do we suffer, hoping it will be drained

We are losing the numbers of our brothers

Our sister pillaged for helping us

As a nation, we know we should do better

How long will it take for those in power to see

They're overstressed,

But worse, they are abandoned

Do you know how many phone calls we have left

To tell a mother her son is dead

There used to be a leader that would call me back

To let me know we were not standing alone

But just like the rest we are ignored

We stare at empty beds when will it end

They sit in the streets

We live in moral distress

Just to be left to die

Are there any morals left

Or have they left us high and dry

I proceed to smash my head against the wall

There son is lost am I am framed

I have been kicked while trying not to sway

This speaks propaganda

Not a plan to address realities

A reality that there is no one left to fight

Oh, the immediate care for all

We will relentlessly fight

Can't silence us all

We set fear so that it entails

To overthrow this rotten world

They will not slap me in the face

Mightier than swords we stand in grace

I remember the words they made me cry

You call me a hero but I sold my soul

Rewarding me without life

Is this the cost of living your so-called warriors

I can only take so much abuse

One last time, we will fight

Our brothers deserve a life worth

Now stand with grace as we stare into the horizon

The oppressors they are weakened

as we cross the mightiest of rivers
