Picture a child's embrace
A smile upon their gleaming face
Can you see within?
A soul beneath the skin?
Now smile just to hide the pain
We long for that time again
To feel a sense of worth
Our place upon the earth
That we had made
That you took away
When you sailed upon the ocean waves
And turned men into slaves
You degrade your fellow man
To serve your selfish plan
Now we're in the poorest place
Feels like a losing race
You tell me I'm a wreck
And kneel upon my neck
What did you achieve?
A notion to believe?
A fool you can deceive
While I can't breathe
