Too many victims of the same crime.
Different time, same story.
Different name to add to the inventory.
This well is too deep.
Too slippery to scale.
Too many lives lost.
When will justice prevail?
We’re drowning…
we’re drowning…
We just want to be free,
We just want to breathe,
But we’re drowning…
we’re drowning…
