And through the fence I see a ghost
Of a place that used to breathe
You know it choked away the sun

But we still had food to eat

And now everyone is gone

To a place that won't be home
Can they keep their family strong?
Will they make it on their own?


And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again

We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here
When you're gone


Then one day we realized
That they couldn't hear our voice

And it's so hard to understand
When it's caught up in the noise


But the ones who fight and die
Are the truth inside the lie
Now it's all built on our backs

And we struggle to survive

And we'll be standing when you're gone

And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here

When you're gone
