Own This Life

Great kid walks down the hallway
Terrorized, abused, for being gay
Water pours down his cheeks on his way home
Later that night blasts a cap into his dome
Another kid puts her head down on the desk
Figures out a way to end her life and disregards her test
Gives up herself up one last night
Will anyone help her up tonight?


Is this right?
Is this something to pass by?
Is this worth the end of a life?
We have failed
We need to reconnect
We need to find a way to show the light
We must find a way to recollect
The fractured pieces of a will to fight
We need to own this life

Cameron perseveres through the fire
He seeks to prove his father wrong
And to last a few more seconds to write his song
Of Peace and harmony in a world long lost
Where love meets power
And sinners live with saints

Is this right?
Is this something to pass by?
Is this worth the end of a life?
We have failed
We need to reconnect
We need to find a way to show the light
We must find a way to recollect
The fractured pieces of a will to fight
We need to own this life

Grab life for the torn
Never let go, even through the storm
Hold on tight, I’ll never let you go
And I’ll make your life white as snow

Is this right?
Is this something to pass by?
Is this worth the end of a life?
We have failed
We need to reconnect
We need to find a way to show the light
We must find a way to recollect
The fractured pieces of a will to fight
We need to own this life
