Lyrics

Is there a place Is there a place Is there a place Is there a place where we can be more than thunderclaps and hashtags A place where we are human and our fears not twitterstorms Our flesh not dissected in comment sections I Is there a place Is there a place where we can be more More than thunderclaps and hashtags A place where we are human and our fears not twitterstorms Our flesh not dissected in comment sections Is there a place Is there a place where we can hold each other In sorrow and silence and defiance In sorrow and silence and defiance Before you make a picture funeral to share widely Another name fallen Is there a place Is there a place Is there a place where the headlines don't hate us Or assume that we mysteriously die Just fall And are never killed intentionally by soldiers taking orders Intentionally by snipers taking aim Intentionally by companies making war Intentional Is there a place where the headlines don't hate us Is there a place where the headlines don't hate us And our life, like our laughter Is intentional Is there a place Is there a place I don't have to justify how our lives are also sacred Our lives also matter And we also love our children Is there a place Where the breaking news like breaking waves Doesn't just bring more bodies from the Mediterranean Is there a place Is there a place Is there a place where we are more than horror stories And numbers etched on helmets Stars for generals Who calculate the calories to the brink of life Is there a place Is there a place Is there a place Is there a place Imagine Just imagine with me A place Not the most beautiful Nothing extraordinary Nothing magical about its oranges Nothing too blue about its skies Just a place Where we can be Just a place Just a place where we can sit under a tree Just a place Just a place where we can be Where we can be Where we can be Home.
