Hard land bursting out
from northwest to south
as many storms as droughts
Long tired skies
stretched out over cries
from brothers sisters and wives
White walls forget
factories reject
honest hungry sweat
The wheels can't bear the weight
of deaf determined hate
of bleeding broken states
Pinch a nerve and see
if you can feel the hurt inside of me
I'm angry too scared like you
we're both digging with the same tools
Grab your burning pride
and take a side
join the great divide
Hard scarred kiss
of lost promises
lonely dreams turned to mist
Justice for some
empathy gone numb
under a boiling sun
Too scared to think alone
in this vast hostile home
joining shouts and casting stones
Cracked wounded roads
heavy sinking loads
violent waters flow
I can't understand
