Then Again
Nathaniel Pettey
Then again
I've been wrong before
Pain and guilt to an open sore
Then again
Lost within a shell
All we need was someone to tell
It takes a village
Why can't they see that clearly
All generations together we face our fears
Then again
They've been wrong before
A hand-me-down mistake of sorts
Then again
Low tide amongst the shells
"They'll learn from this" they tell themselves
It takes a village
Why can't they see that clearly
All generations together we face our fears
Then again
Do we have what it takes?
Rising less with lower stakes
Today's the day
We change history
Unify to choose love and peace
It takes a village
Why can't they see that clearly
All generations together we face our fears
