High School - SayWeCanFly

You call them soldiers, I call them friends

From different countries, I’ve never met

You call them heroes after they die

After you pay them, and steal lives

You call it high school but all I learned

Is that there’s something wrong with the earth

And all our politics, are just a dirty trick to keep us feeling sick,

and keep us arguing

Your bullets and your stones, can pierce right through my bones

But this heart remains my own, and I will always have control

When our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind

Is that the devil holds their throats

Only heaven holds their souls, so don’t let go

Our generation needs education

About creation, not separation

We are the nation, on medication

Our population built on hesitation

See back in high school I never was cool

Until I chose to, just do what I do

I skipped my classes, put on my glasses

And wrote my love songs, 'til I could find some sunshine in the rain

A way to stop my pain, and now I understand

That my pain was in their plan

When our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind

Is that the devil holds their throats

Only heaven holds their souls, so don’t let go

See when all is said and done

We will burn into the sun

And the moon will shine upon

The distant earth that it once loved

The stars will sing a song

For all the humans who got lost inside themselves

And left the whole wide world to burn in hell
