lyrics

Tell me I'm not wrong
For not feeling the way a guardian should feel over it's young
This child was never planned
This child was never wanted only came from anger and hate
Tell me I'm not wrong
For what happens inside of me when I look deep into your eyes
For I was the innocent one
Then came those with their guns
And with time came you, my son

But I, oh I wait on the sun to set down on these awful days
And I, oh I wait on a better tomorrow if not for me, then for you

So who are you?
To ignore the old callings of our time
And who are you?
To drown your ears from our broken song

I am not at fault for the anger I wield
Like a sword, when you claim to love me
For I was beaten and battered down
Stripped, a queen with her crown
As they forced hell upon me

But I, oh I wait on the sun to set down on these awful days
And I, oh I wait on a better tomorrow if not for me, then for you

So who are you?
To ignore the old callings of our time
And who are you?
To drown your ears from our broken song

1, 2 are beaten down
3, 4 stand from the floor
5, 6 come out from their hiding to save every-
1, 2 are beaten down
3, 4 stand from the floor
5,6 come out from their hiding to save everyone
Save everyone

So who are you?
To ignore the old callings of our time
And who are you?
To drown your ears from our broken song
