Everything within me is screaming
DO YOU SEE NOW
You were shocked when we found 215
Maybe you even felt a little broken
How could this possibly happen?
Our country couldn't have
You were enraged
at the horrific nature of the news
You were in disbelief
that your true north strong and free
wasn't free
You are confused about how to celebrate the country you thought you knew
Everything within me is screaming
DO YOU FINALLY UNDERSTAND
All the babies that made it home
never really made it home
They never returned to the life they were taken from
The Indians you judged
have been broken to their core
in unimaginable ways
The Indians you have praised
were the lucky ones
Everything within me is screaming
WHEN WILL THE NUMBER BE ENOUGH
I'm tired
I'm grieving
I'm asking Creator for strength
I say a prayer for the survivors
I offer silence for the lost
I prepare my heart for more to be found
Everything within me is screaming
