lyrics

Waking up to pictures of violence
They're boarding up the places we used to go
Everything is silent
while smoke starts to settle like fallen snow

Hands clash like crashing waves
while we're holding signs of peace on the Lakeshore Path

all eyes are on all our actions
but we're struggling to find a resolution

and We're holding on to one dead city
Embers mark the miles of what we used to know
Glass replaces cracks in the sidewalks
We're tourists in this place that we once called home

Hands clasp to form a union
and now I call you a brother and sister of mine

Our eyes are seeing red
The city isn't burning
it's dead and gone
