"Dont Be Afraid of the Future"

We are the forgotten ones.
We are only skeletons, crushed beneath your heels.
And we have no voices, none
that you would hear.

But a storm is rolling in the distance,
it's giving us new names.

You said you didn't need us,
because you couldn't figure out who we were.
You said we were different,
and, for that, we died.
Crushed beneath your heels.

But a storm is rolling in the distance,
it's giving us new names.

I would have called you brother,
I would have called you friend,
I could have called you sister,
but it was by your hand,
that I found my end.

And why, and how you did this is lost forever.
We could have told you, but our voices lie broken,
crushed beneath your heels.

But a storm is rolling in the distance,
it's giving us new names.
Brother, sister, comrade,
it says we're all the same.

A storm that carries our voices,
spreading across the land,
stretching out our fingers,
joining every hand.

A storm that brings freedom,
peace brought from afar.
It says, "The world belongs to those you struck down,
every innocent wandering star.
The lives you've ended in ignorance,
and the ones that you've caused pain.
This world belong to them now,
those crushed beneath your heels."

We are the forgotten ones,
the innocent wandering stars.
The world will belong to us soon, but
don't be afraid of the future. For we
are not like you were, never
again will anyone be forgotten. Never
again will there be voices,
crushed beneath another's heels.

Okay sorry, I got carried away with that one. :) I think Marr, with your suggestion, you brought out the activist in me. This one is lashing out against hate crimes. *nods* Hope it's not too heavy/long.

Have fun!

Love,
