kneel

we will kneel and you will stand

we'll both protect this sorry land

hand in hand and over heart

we have sworn to do our part

kneeling 'fore the nation's eyes

kneeling for their anguished cries

band together, save the small

justice for them, one and all

they sleep silent, brave and proud

we forge on, against the crowd

we will not rest until the day

no more lives are lost this way

--

i am so, so tired
