Cowardice in the wake of a lie that I solemnly knew
Complacent in fear
Brought to the brink of my shortcomings
Scrape away this violence
Indifferent to the suffering
I will not ignore something larger than me
Break down these old walls, rebuild and start again
Relinquish this pain, adopt a newfound growth
This can never fade until the last cage empties
There's a hand resting on my shoulder
And it wants me to be gentle and sensitive
Empathy to serve a purpose
Protect them the voiceless ones
Love them as I'd love another
I see a hope in empathy
This starts with compassion, compassion and you
Give up yourself and see them as they do

Thank you to Dr. Melanie Joy and Beyond Carnism for their contribution to this song.
We hope to perform with this band one day. Some of the best to do it! There is something so special and unique that we find in their sound; it is perfectly satisfactory. To Be Gentle
