What about Us?

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark We are rockets, pointed up at the stars We are Canada's billions of beautiful hearts And you sold us down the river too far We are problems that want to be solved We are children that need to be loved We were willin', we came when you called But, man, you fooled us, enough is enough, What about the Canadian people? What about taking care of Canada first? What about the poor? What about the homeless? What about all the broken happy ever afters? what about us? What about our veterans? they should be living a life of paradise but there not. what about the children? what about there education that you're cutting? what about love? What about trust? What about worring about us first before the outsiders? Why worry about the refugees when you should be helping us. Come on people sticks and stones, they may break these bones But are you ready? It's the start of us, waking up canada, come on Are you ready? We don't want control, we want to let go Are you ready? it's time to let them know, We are ready, So what about us? What about the Canadians? What about all the times you said you had the answers? What about us? What about all the broken happy ever afters? What about us? What about all the plans that ended in disaster? What about love? What about trust? What about the Canadians? we should be coming first. What about us.
