V. We’ve Been Through So Much

We've been through so much Created futures from less than nothing Stonewall paradise garage Fires ballroom in the night We've been through so much Riot spit Protest in the night Fight to be, fight to be, fight to be Fight to be free in the daylight We've been through so much Carry grief for those not accounted for Bodies lost in the wind Fighting, fighting, fighting all over again to be seen in the daylight Fighting, fighting, fighting to be free in the daylight In the daylight For them lives cut short Can't carry the weight of what humanity has become No compassion, war brain syndrome Go to war where they can't control See they can't see that they lost control Narrative run wild, hate passed down and learned Communities become targets Fires still burn Look at us now all mourning Young lives cut way too short Gone way too soon Away too soon coming one day Overcoming hear our name hear our number When the saints come marching in marching in Not to kill us but help us create another way out of lostness Fear [?] more often Shift caution We've been through so much We've been through so much
