lyrics

Widen your horizons
he said, she danced
she danced, he said

We built a wall
of words and silences
of insecurities
of wounded memories
while hope
while hope soared wild and free

Widen your horizons
he said, she danced
she danced, he said

Words shot from sniper guns
while hearts bruised in battle
beat a marching song
And stand now to attention
commanded by rejection
to fight or die
to protect the lie

Widen your horizons
he said, she danced
she danced, he said

You drop silence

do you look down
or look back
as its core breaks on impact
and the fire spreads
mute, red tongues
licking wounds that burn
till there’s no place of return
there’s no place of return
no place of return…
widen your horizons…
danced…
said…
