So I'll write these words now

For you, my friend, here after all this time

We may never sing this one, it's just here

As a light to help you

When the power goes out

Like the moments you might shake yourself awake

From those horrible dreams

The only ones we never talk about

The glare of madness in grown-ups' eyes

The rage that takes the whole room by surprise

This vicious trap, the male cultural disguise

Is the one we fight against

We go, we go, we go

The one we fight against

We go, we go, we go

So I'll write these words now

For you, my friend, here after all this time

We may never sing this one, it's just here

As a light to help you

The sickness, the silence

As you hide in your room

Wishing so hard to forget you're alive

But you're alive

So the sight of broken things won't mean a pound of flesh

And the time you speak up won't be repaid with fists

Praying not to be missed

The night you ran away

We go, we go, we go

The night you ran away

We go, we go, we go

So I'll write these words now

For you, my friend, here after all this time

We may never sing this one, it's just here

As a light to help you

This violence passes for an apology

The trickle down in our society

This violence passes for an apology

The trickle down in our society

This is for the peace you never had

This is for the peace we never had

This is for the peace we never had

How do we guard the door against your dad?

We go, we go, we go

The night you ran away

We go, we go, we go

So I'll write these words now

For you, my friend, here after all this time

We may never sing this one, it's just here

As a light to help you
