Puppet Strings

I refuse to believe

That it's being naive

To let my heart bleed

For a world that's hurting

There are terrible things

Pulling on the puppet strings

They can take away

My humanity

I refuse to believe

That it's being naive

To hold onto the hope

That we can change the world

Marches, calls, and letters we write

Boycotts and a good fight

in solidarity

Has changed history

I refuse to believe

That trying is naive

So I'll keep on doing what I can where I am

Until we are all free
