The Likes Of Me

The Likes Of Me

I can feel your passion
Your outraged sense of pain
But what is your reason
When it's not you in the frame?
The stakes could not be higher
Thanks for your sympathy
But do you know just how it rolls
For the likes of me?

You read all about it
Watch the clips online
Listen to the stories
From those on the front line
In your head it makes sense
In your heart empathy
But do you know just what it's worth
For the likes of me?

Last night I lay dreaming
As the sun went down
I could hear the crackling
Of the guns back in the town
I saw the walls a-tumble
I felt us finally free
From all that separates you
From the likes of me

These hips may bear children
Or maybe not who knows?
And accidents of birth
Should not determine foes
Yet sometimes in struggle
All that sets us free
Is grim determination
Of the likes of me
