I closed my eyes, cause I did not want to see
I closed my mouth, cause I had nothing to say
I closed my mind to thoughts that would not go away
But now it all
It all comes back to me
I knew what was wrong
And I knew what was right
But I hid away
I didn't stand and fight
Like everyone else
I went about my day

I didn't realize
The price that I would pay
When it happened to them, I did not care
When it happened to me, no one was there
Where did the hope and wonder of life go
I look around and no one knows
We did not, stand and fight
Against evil men and make things right
Dark night has fallen all around the world
But I will never sleep at night, and I will never again be free
I lay awake and wonder, when they'll come for me
