Then Again

Then again
I've been wrong before
Pain and guilt to an open sore

Then again
Lost within a shell
All we need was someone to tell

It takes a village
Why can't they see that clearly
All generations together we face our fears

Then again
They've been wrong before
A hand-me-down mistake of sorts

Then again
Low tide amongst the shells
"They'll learn from this" they tell themselves

It takes a village
Why can't they see that clearly
All generations together we face our fears

Then again
Do we have what it takes?
Rising less with lower stakes
Today's the day
We change history
Unify to choose love and peace

It takes a village
Why can't they see that clearly
All generations together we face our fears
