today we die
tomorrow we live
each day we cry
for what we believe 

who is to blame
for this desperation for fame
is a loving mother 
or a wayward brother

how long shall we cry in pain
for little or no gain
over and over again
yet we hope for a day
that change would come our way
we pray it is today
