It seems to me that our “land of the free”
is one of IN-humanity.
Students who protest genocide must now fear
that they may soon just disappear.
Home and school should just be
places of peace and safety.
Standing up for what’s right
should be praised out of sight…
not punished as crim-i-nal-i-ty.
Can you imagine what it must be like
to be members of a family
of someone who’s suddenly swept out of sight
and no one knows where they may be!
We-e must make this end!
Bring back our loved ones and friends!
They’re our brightest and best!
They speak in our behest… (pause)
slow-> They’re the very ones we should defend!
