Michael Harris Poet Lyric

Empty Promises

We came down
The mountains and passageways
We came down
In search of new days

We came down
To live life in our own way
Only to find
The same dump of decay

Dictated by many
Ruled only by one
Our only freedom
Is owning our guns 

We came down
The oceans and waterways
We came down
Like fish in a bay

We came down
On the quest for the new land
We came down
Because we can

Hope for our freedom
Has been forsaken
Results now show 
We were sadly mistaken

We came down
The mountains and passageways
We came down 
And were betrayed
