I Made A Deal


I made a deal, with the broken ones

To let them tell, their stories.

I made a deal, with the lonesome ones

To let them release their cries.

I made a deal, with the nonconforming forces

To let them, fulfill their glory.

As they all stand together, they march through shadows

Then they feel a lot better, than they did before

Than they did before

Yes, I made a deal…

I made a deal…

Yes, I made a deal…

I made a deal…

As it reels around the table, to each of the classes

They feel more able, to walk the path, they’re sure.

If it was just one story

Would they be strong enough?

If it was just one story

Would they still reel?

Would they be real enough?

Cause I made a deal, with everyone, who was still broken.

I made a deal, with everyone, who was still lonely. 

I made a deal, with those of us, who marched in the shadows

So we could settle, the unforgiving score, the unrelenting score.

Yes, I made a deal…

I made a deal…

Yes, I made a deal…

I made a deal…

We all made a deal.

We all made a deal together.

So we will march.

We will march forever.
