[hometext] => A protest song. It's about time this happens.
[bodytext] => Chorus: What we sing on these rainy days Never quiet gets through the any of us Even though we all sing the same words Trying to get through to everyone else We try Yeah we try We run, scrap our knees We sing, burn our lungs We cry, flood the world But we keep trying Trying Trying… Verse one: My legs are turning to jelly at every turn The gas ran out long ago, I just keep going on fumes The lights are flickering, power won’t last much longer Buildings bursting from the trees, blocking my way out We are all yelling out, voices cracking With sunshine touched memories we run Feet breaking on the paved roads Chorus: What we sing on these rainy days Never quiet gets through the any of us Even though we all sing on the same words Trying to get through to everyone else We try Yeah we try We run, scrap our knees We sing, burn our lungs We cry, flood the world But we keep trying Trying Trying… Verse two: Look at him with the sky falling from his eyes The wind is flowing from his lips Yet no one stops to look Don’t you see? Yeah don’t you see it? We are here to stay; turning away won’t stop a thing But still you try, blinding you eye Chorus: What we sing on these rainy days Never quiet gets through the any of us Even though we all sing on the same words Trying to get through to everyone else We try Yeah we try We run, scrap our knees We sing, burn our lungs We cry, flood the world But we keep trying Trying Trying… Verse three: They aren’t going away and neither am I I’ll stand in front of you for the rest of time Screaming out the world you lay before me Never listening to a word you say Until you say you love us too Face it, open your eyes for one second and you will see That colors paint the world, not black and white We are not silhouetted against the sky We blend with the rest of the rainbow fabric of the world We try Yeah we try We run, scrap our knees We sing, burn our lungs We cry, flood the world But we keep trying Trying Trying… Time for you to try too [comments] => 0 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 34 [informant] => SlimStaple [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
