On Falling Leaf - Destroy The Runner

I watch him cry

And hold onto his legs as mother waits outside for her son to come

I’ve seen to much

I haven’t seen enough

You haven’t seen enough until you have seen a family breaking up

(no one.)

It’s like nothing that you’ve felt before

(No one should ever feel like…)

(like this)

I’ll cry, but my tears won’t lock the doors

(no one…)

It’s like throwing away all of those years

(no one should ever live like this.)

I’ll cry

But my tears won’t keep you here

Or keep us together

Fathers and Mothers

Know that your sons and your daughters

Might walk a road that is harder

Because of the choices you’ve made

Or the ones that you make

And we have lived with your blood on our hands

What we’ve been waiting for now…

Now it’s our chance

We will stand

Sisters and brothers

From broken homes and broken lovers

We will fight for something true

And we will stand for something true

(no one.)

It’s like nothing that you’ve felt before

(no one should ever feel like…)

(like this)

I’ll cry, but my tears won’t lock the doors

(no one…)

It’s like throwing away all of those years

(no one should ever live like this.)

I’ll cry, but my tears won’t keep you here or us together

Where others have failed

We will make it

Where families derail

We won’t lose track

We’ll start a trail

Our kin will take it

We’ll fight tooth and nail when lies attack
