********************************
all we're searching for is
peace
for that
safe place
of simple
belonging
and it's not your fault
that it's hard to find
there's nothing
wrong with you
for not settling
there's nothing
broken
in you
for wanting something
better
for wanting our
world
to be better
for marching
protesting
writing letters to
people who may never
reply
it's not bad to
love who you want to
to be proud of
who you are
and there's nothing wrong with
hiding
yourself either
if you can't take what the
world
thinks of you
we're a broken
generation
we inherited a
dying earth
from everyone who
came before us
and
did nothing about it
and yet
somehow
we still wake up
go outside
play soccer and
basketball
and softball and
hockey
and we smile at
our friends
because there is a
fire
in us that says
we will not give up
even when we do
even when we're losing
faith
we turn to people
across the world
who tell us
you are good enough
and we have taken this
hopeless situation
and turned it
around
180 degrees
if there is
anybody
who can save our
climate
fix the
racism
change the
mindsets
that have
pervaded people for
generations
if there is
anybody
who can make a
cure
to disease
and create
solutions to
problems
find answers to
all of our
questions
there are
seven billion
people on this
planet
people
die
every second
someone's
mother
father
brother
son
daughter
aunt
wife
sister
people are
born
every minute
someone's
best friend
cousin
partner
girlfriend
boyfriend
husband
we know so
much
it's still
too little
but it's a
start
it's a
beginning
and if we just
let ourselves
fall into this
role
that has been
set for us
by fate
destiny
god
angels
the universe
whoever is
out there
watching
maybe we
could save
the world
