They live in the same world we live in

Deserving of the same life we're living

The same love and growth we've been given

Kids came home to tanks and forces with bulldozers

Parents bloodied and buried under debris

The anxiety and fear of soldiers with guns erasing their entire family

An impossible weight to carry on a child's shoulders

Others came home to a pile of rocks and dust

Air raids systematically wiping out an entire community while they sleep

Solaced coastlines eroding with friends' blood flowing out to the sandstone

All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming

Workers and families waiting in cages at gunpoint

Innocent adolescents stripped of innocence and ripped from their guardians

Illegitimate borders and military checkpoints

No sovereignty, no autonomy

Lobbyists funding suppression tactics behind the scenes

Skewed headlines painting pictures of justifiable force

Genocide and apartheid reads as newspeak pushed by fanatics

An ongoing ethnic cleansing and a looming promise of violence

Humiliating paperwork processing lines

Facial recognition scans to dehumanize and obliterate self-worth and dignity

An impossible world to love

An immovable threat of loss and the death of the unloved

All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming

Uneven bloodshed carried out methodically (They live in the same world we live in)

Malice unrestrained and aberrant (Deserving of the same life we're living)

Thought crimes for the marginalized

To exist is to be demoralized on a daily basis (The same love and growth we've been given)

Punished for where you were born and whose bodies you came from

An impossible world to love

All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming

No sovereignty no autonomy

All eyes unbecoming and unwelcoming

No sovereignty, no autonomy to the heirs of a wretched inheritance

They live in the same world we live in

Deserving of the same life we're living

The same love and growth we've been given

Sovereignty and autonomy

They live in the same world we live in

Deserving of the same life we're living

The same love and growth we've been given

Sovereignty and autonomy

An impossible world to love

An impossible world to love

An impossible world to love

An impossible world to love

An impossible world to love

An impossible world to love

An impossible world to love

An impossible world to love
