Crashing waves call her name, start digging her grave.
\nCall the time,
\nShe’s cold,
\nShe could have been mine.
\nTake a breath, take a knee,
\nObserve what you see,
\nLike a bird, swimming through a breeze,
\nI take a moment, silence succeeds,
\n\u201cWow, look at this world underneath me.\u201d
\nThe moment is sad and strangely sweet,
\nShe simply skitters away from me,
\nFar,
\nFar,
\nFar away,
\nFly the flag,
\nThe flag you praise,
\nFly it halfway.
\nWe mourn what we have tried to achieve,
\nHear our prayers clear as can be,
\nPlease, Please, Please.
\nMy rivers of tears storm in fear,
\nI scream,
\nShe’s not yet dead to me!
\n\u201cPlease god, hear my name,
\nListen to the whispers,
\nListen to the pain,
\nListen to the prayers, for all,
\nFor all who fought,
\nFor all who prayed,
\nFor all who have paved the way,
\nTo even step foot in the United States,
\nI pray we get to see the day,
\nThe day the dream crawls back to me,
\nThe day she arrives and breaks us free,
\nThe day we will achieve the American Dream.\u201d \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
