Altered
They said we'd never be the same
We begged to differ
But now we stare at what remains
We follow the prejudice
And chase the taunting names...
I can't help but wonder
If flowing the beaten and broken path
Was a systematic blunder
The memories are the strangest
We've been through so many changes
We couldn't wait to be stronger
And now we find ourselves...
Waiting even longer
Our old selves slipped away
We paid the price,
We couldn't afford to pay
Every day...
We search for the heart so kind
The best part of us
The part we couldn't find...
Somewhere along our journey, we faltered
Forever since,
We've been altered
