We are the River
The tears, the pain
Like a splinter in your stomach
Remember good times?
This moment is so sudden
The betrayal, the lies
Destroying us today
People cry rivers
Flooding out the human race
Hearts are cracked, our lives are dark
It's one thing super glue cannot fix that fell apart
Rivers turn into oceans
The sun runs away
Nothing is left, but the moon
Darkness leads the way
Silent still Saturdays
No kids out these days
Adults want to rejoice
But their passions have gone astray
What has our world become?
Our heads are now spinning
Nobody now is grinning
And look at what we've done
And this is only the beginning
So splish, splash, splatter
The tears still come
We shake, we quiver
We cry so much, we're the river
Cole hatred follows us all
Swallowing our very lives
Plunging us into a deep dark ocean
We await our time to die
We drown in the darkness around us
But we do not change our ways
For the cruelty in the world
Shall never wander astray
We curse ourselves to hell
We never look God's way
For we think we have all the power
Which will be proven wrong someday
Someday when we are older
We will bow down on our knees and pray
'I wish that I would have listened
For now I am ashamed'
