"Where will we get" by Sophia Nerenberg


Listen Later

Where will we getWith the attack? Will the caged bird Finally bend the metal? Or should it learn to pick the lock?
Where will we get With the oppression?Will the Princess Be forced to use her hair? Or be allowed to put on pants And climb her way down?
Where will we get With the ego?Will the lion pounce at every chanceAnd fail? Or choose wisely, Waiting for the pride?
Where will we getWith the hate? Will the fire burn And become all consuming?Or simmer only enough to warm our hands? To cook a meal we can share?
Where will we get If we go on like this?
Where will we get If we don’t stop and think?
Where will we get If we don’t take a look around?
Where will we get?
Where will we get? - Sophia Nerenberg
