We were young and tough and serious

     and the world our enemy

 But now is different

 We are all that stands between

I see you’ve met my new pet

 Tell your crew to back away

 They don’t want that kind of hurt

Trust me

You went on alone,

      now it’s time

      for you to come back in from the cold, again

 We stand alone but we are

      like you once were,

      warriors who heard the call

 (for all)

It was easy being fearless

     when the pain was never real

 But now is different

 We are all that stands between

     the end of the world that we know

     and what we have right here

 We need you in this war

Trust me

Used to be a single voice that vanished in a crowd

 Vague just like a distant sun when hidden by the clouds

 Found a way to surface and to speak my truth aloud

Be powerful

Stand fast and proud.
