What We Were
We are no longer kids with pigtails and braces
On the cusp of winning bicycle races
We are adults and we have grown older and bolder
With more responsibilities to shoulder
The environment is breaking and cracking
Sea turtles in the ocean are lacking
The sun is hot and so are we
We only have one shot to save the trees
Everyones dying as bullets ricochet
Another shooting marks the calendar today
People push, pull, and shove
They spread hate instead of love
Kids are locked in cages
Others die on minimum wages
We read the news and sing the blues
What the hell are we going to do
All this bad in the world that we’ve heard our whole lives
Were we ever really children?
