We used to be blind as a bat

Taking life in stride, one day at a time

Our innocence our guiding light

The glow not reaching the darkest corners of reality

Today the truth is splashed across the front page

Atrocities taking center stage

People breaking, people hiding

As fact meets fiction and that pretty world crumbles

We used to feel invincible, untouchable

Opportunity was still knocking

Its fist relentless in our pursuit of dreams

But we soon awoke to a nightmare

2.

Today a fresh fire flows through our veins

Rebel minds fight back, casting words aside

Backs rigid to the sticks and stones

From the black cloud, we find the rainbow
