  EmAnd through the fDence I see a gAm7host of a plCace that used to brEmeath.
You know it chDoked away the Am7sun, but we stCill had food to eat.
And now Emeveryone is gone to a plDace that won't be home.
Can they kAm7eep their family strong? Will they mCake it on their own?
[Chorus 1]
  GAnd we'll be stDanding when you're Am7gone and wCe'll be heard agGain.
We missed our chDance but not for Am7long I know somehCow we will hold Emon.
We'll be hDere, when you're gCone.
[Verse 2]
  EmAnd then one dDay we realAm7ized, that they cCouldn't hear our vEmoice.
And it's so hDard to undersAm7tand, when it's cCaught up in the noise.
But the Emones who fight and die are the trDuth inside the lie.
Now it's Am7all built on our backs and we strCuggle to survive.
[Chorus 2]
