I stand here now realizing what is yet to become
I stand here with my scared face
I stand here weaping in the shadow of my mother
I stand here screaming, I am who I determine to be!
I stand here whispering in the ears of my ancestors telling them the future of destruction
I stand here biting my lips of anxiety waiting for civilization to rise again
I stand here starving for humanity
I stand here creating new life

Waiting for this generation to stand up and fight
