What have we become

And how far can we fall?

Will we remain standing here

Doing nothing at all?


Will we stand here unmoving

With fear in our hearts

As the anger and hate

Rip and tear us apart?


Will we stand here

As our world is brought to its knees

By the scorching of earth

And rising of seas


Will we watch

As our children and loved ones are killed

Sending only thoughts and prayers

To those who reach for more still


Can we gather together

Can we take a stand

Can we help those who are grieving

Can we walk hand in hand


Because this world needs us

No matter our age

Because together we can

Put an end to this rage


Yet we still stand here waiting

Our feet stuck to the floor

But my eyes have been opened

And I'll stand here no more
