Finite Bodies

The view from what might become
Their lives don't sound like they'd hoped
The barren and wasted minds
The plans just words all along

They burst as they hit the ground
Their mark unmade

They stall as the years go by
As from countless hopefuls
Heroes emerge, without us
They don't see their time will pass
As they hear new futures
Get in line, getting loud, getting closer

They burn as they reach the sky
We can fly further

On the wings that
We build for ourselves from nothing
Their moments might come, but we need more
We've seen what we are, and we're better than

Don't stop
Don't wait
Don't fall

They can hold us back, but we won't back down

Don't break
Don't yield
Don't fold

We can make it through, because we still have

Time to reach what
We want more than
Anything else
We must be heard

Don't dismiss, don't put down
Don't tell me what I can't be
Don't point out, I don't care
Who you are or what you do
I'll never listen to
A single word that you say
Because I know that I have
What you never will
