(John Rzeznik)



And through the fence I see a ghost

Of a place that used to breathe

You know it choked away the sun

But we still had food to eat



And now everyone is gone

To a place that won't be home

Can they keep their family strong?

Will they make it on their own?



And we'll be standing when you're gone

And we'll be heard again

We missed our chance but not for long

I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here

When you're gone



Then one day we realized

That they couldn't hear our voice

And it's so hard to understand

When it's caught up in the noise



But the ones who fight and die

Are the truth inside the lie

Now it's all built on our backs

And we struggle to survive



And we'll be standing when you're gone

And we'll be heard again

We missed our chance but not for long

I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here

When you're gone
