38th-parallel Who am I

Made like a mirror to reflect his
glory But the glass got smashed,
bought a counterfeit story We gave
into pride Sacrificed life, on that day
we died inside Outside we ignited a
rebellion, An infectious disease that
labels us felons

Cold and alone, everwandering in search
of a home Hearts breaking and
shaking in time with our
hearts vibrating We say bridges to
yesterday are burned Seasons over, all
those leaves have turned But we cannot
look now We can only keep our gaze
locked on the ground And here we stand
with wide eyes as our world comes
crashing down

CHORUS
Who am I to say right ? Who am I to
say you’re wrong ? Play judge, look
you in the eye, Who am I to throw the
stones I remember when trust went for
free

Sold for a smile on the face of a
fantasy Truth found her home in the pages
of fairy tales Decadent words formed the
phrases for dreams that failed Now trust
is a costly commodity Giving it away is
the mark of absurdity And truth is a homeless
traveler Hoping in the night to be found

CHORUS

And we wave goodbye to our innocence And
we wave goodbye to our ignorance And we
wave goodbye to our nursery mindsets
Abandoning cribs of complacence
