And through the fence I see a ghost   Of a place that used to breathe   You know it choked away the sun   But we still had food to eat      And now everyone is gone   To a place that won't be home   Can they keep their family strong?   Will they make it on their own?      And we'll be standing when you're gone   And we'll be heard again   We missed our chance but not for long   I know somehow we will hold on   We'll be here when you're gone      And then one day we realized   That they couldn't hear our voice   And it's so hard to understand   When it's caught up in the noise      But the ones who fight and die   Are the truth inside the lie   Now it's all built on our backs   And we struggle to survive      And we'll be standing when you're gone   And we'll be heard again   We missed our chance but not for long   I know somehow we will hold on   We'll be here, when you're gone      And we'll be standing when you're gone   And we'll be heard again   We missed our chance but not for long   I know somehow we will hold on   We'll be here, when you're gone   When you're gone, we'll be here, when you're gone
