Legacy

from Small Kindness by Englewood

/

lyrics

History will not forgive you.
Your soul will burn if it outlives you.
Lies and hate will be your legacy....

Children on the wing,
Can you hear them sing?
Can you hear them play?
No, nor can I.

Children all alone,
Caged in metal "homes",
Can you hear them cry?
So can I.

Mothers run to save their lives,
Desperately work to survive,
Travel miles and miles to be safe.

Finally make it to the line,
Cross it, made it, just in time!
Thinking now she's saved her children's lives.

Once upon a time this was a place to come,
A refuge for the desperate and the poor.
Once upon a time, a nation founded for asylum,
But no more....

History will not forget
Children caged in Texas tents,
Families torn apart to serve a lie.

History will not forgive
Those who would not let them live.
Lock them up then send them back to die!

Once upon a time this was a place to come,
A refuge for the desperate and the poor.
Once upon a time, a nation founded for asylum,
But no more....

Children on the wing,
Can you hear them sing?
Can you hear them play?
No, nor can I.

Children all alone,
Caged in metal "homes",
Can you hear them cry?
So can I.

History will not forgive you.
Your soul will burn if it outlives you.
Lies and hate will be your legacy....
