Do you hear me yet?
Some people say
We are not up to par
Then I ask them
Have you made it this far?
Are you a family
Tall and strong?
Do you stand
In the far and long?
We made progress
But perfect we are not
How we are blind
And how we forgot.
It used to be
That we were one.
Families were all
And a friends was a son.
But do we listen
To our own?
Do we ask
Or make it known?
I needed help
I asked everyone around.
Did you listen?
Or did you just hear the sound?
I’m going to jump
You didn’t care
I told you this
You didn’t share.
The words didn’t matter
You didn’t see
How your lack of care
Affected me.
I will always listen.
I will always see.
Help I will never deny
To those in need.
So I will go
And make you see
You should have listened
And saved me.
I will survive
Without your hand.
But I will miss
This family land.
You should have listened
And saved me.
Saved us.
