V. We’ve Been Through So Much

We've been through so much
Created futures from less than nothing
Stonewall paradise garage
Fires ballroom in the night
We've been through so much
Riot spit
Protest in the night
Fight to be, fight to be, fight to be
Fight to be free in the daylight
We've been through so much
Carry grief for those not accounted for
Bodies lost in the wind
Fighting, fighting, fighting all over again to be seen in the daylight
Fighting, fighting, fighting to be free in the daylight
In the daylight
For them lives cut short
Can't carry the weight of what humanity has become
No compassion, war brain syndrome
Go to war where they can't control
See they can't see that they lost control
Narrative run wild, hate passed down and learned
Communities become targets
Fires still burn
Look at us now all mourning
Young lives cut way too short
Gone way too soon
Away too soon coming one day
Overcoming hear our name hear our number
When the saints come marching in marching in
Not to kill us but help us create another way out of lostness
Fear [?] more often
Shift caution
We've been through so much
We've been through so much
