When You Corner Me

from Let No​-​one Be Left Behind by The Same Boat

/

lyrics

We live like cockroaches
Because you live like kings
You've brutalised us and terrorised us
And stolen nearly everything
You can try to crush our spirit
Try to take away our dignity
But in the end you'll only vanquish
Your own humanity

When you corner me I will strike out at you
And we'll both live with our backs against the wall
But if you show me compassion
I'll show you empathy
And we'll be there to catch each other if we fall

You can stop the sun from burning
Turn day into night
You can stop the earth from turning
But not my will for life
And if you only knew about the
Crimes committed in your name
So much pain caused by so few
You'd surely hang your head in shame

When you corner me I will strike out at you
And we'll both live with our backs against the wall
But if you show me compassion
I'll show you empathy
And we'll be there to catch each other if we fall

Are we just a computer game
The other on your TV screen
No soul, no feeling, no home, no name
No-one there to hear our scream
Have we not endured hardship?
Have we not suffered enough?
Do we not deserve compassion?
Has the world run out of love?
