Unseen Chains

We all have a brain That’s in our head So many of us know What need to be said? But one voice gets lost So its not notice And the corruption around Continue to be practice And its only when we Put our heads together We can bring about change Strong as the weather There are unseen chains On our hands and feet Like the people of Palestine Face a blockade in every street We see the down fall Of our basic human rights With bomb’s falling from the sky Killing children in the nights We see the constructions Of illegal settlements every day Inch by inch confiscating Their land every day The millions of refuge in Africa Just waiting for nothing Their only hope they have Is to keep on praying So many young victims Of all the endless wars Have of the world Living under martial laws In America so many homeless Many never had aback up plan Still the government sends cash To build homes in occupied land How long can we stand this? But they don’t care what is said Every day grieving families Just have to bury their dead Every government hands has blood They give orders to shoot the gun Then use god’s name in vain hoping to enter god,s kingdom They know they can’t fool us We don’t believe the lies we are fed We maybe in unseen chains But we are free in our heads
