Mass Tragedy

With you I stand

Keep your faith or keep your life,

There is no way you can fight,

You’re so afraid now because nothing seems right,

Taken from your homes in the middle of the night,

Praying these men were protecting your family,

Knowing in your heart it would end in tragedy,

With you I stand

and with you I fall, down, down

Watch you breathe in

Watching you breathe out, out

Gripping your star,

gripping your star now, now,

Praying for someone to save you out loud, out loud,

Loaded into train cars and stripped of everything we had,

Waiting in a line to see what faith we would have,

In the cold- Watching and waiting,

Seeing how everyone was being separated,

Seeing your neighbors crying and trying to say goodbye,

You didn’t realize it now, but you’re watching all of them die,

With you I stand

and with you I fall, down, down

Watch you breathe in

Watching you breathe out, out

Gripping your star,

gripping your star now, now,

Praying for someone to save you out loud, out loud,

Nothing could have ever prepared you for this,

The starvation, testing, shooting, and doomed sadness,

The only thing you did was believe in something different,

Now you’re all paying with your lives at the cost of ignorance,

Millions upon millions dying for no reason,

Just so they can say they finished their plan to completion,

With you I stand

and with you I fall, down, down

Watch you breathe in

Watching you breathe out, out

Gripping your star,

gripping your star now, now,

Praying for someone to save you out loud, out loud,

You’re tired, hungry, and cold to the touch,

You can’t remember the last time you have eaten much,

Your body slowly starts to shut down, Crying out because no one is around,

Never wanting to feel this pain again,

Never losing hope that one day it would end,

You still think about all the things you did without,

But something’s you can’t speak about,

With you I stand

and with you I fall, down, down

Watch you breathe in

Watching you breathe out, out

Gripping your star,

gripping your star now, now,

Praying for someone to save you out loud, out loud,
