Fukushima

Fukushima -The Magnetic North

I remember 911how my city cried for heaven

How people perished no matter what style of reverence

I remember tribeca buildings falling all day

Missing people everywhere all the years of mourning

What made it worse was our leaders '05you could see it

With katrina they didn't feel it they were just greedy greedy

Just like fukushima good bad made clearer

It's salt to the wound when your leaders just leave ya

But that's when the lion's roar that's when you fight for more

That's when you figure out there're things worth dying for

It's only when the days dark you discover brave hearts

I know a girl from haiti motherless who has the same heart

My heart goes out to each and every one of you

Children of the future will be greater because of you

I don't write songs for the fortune or a buzz or two

I write for my people hope you feel me love for you

I'll cross a stormy river

Dig the deepest tunnel

Build a bridge over

Any length to love you

I'll bear any fate

Carry it double

However much the stretch

I'll go any length to love you

I don't even know the half only seen the photographs

Reporters telling stories from the view inside their cul de sacs

So i sat eyes glued thinking of your loneliness

Choking back the tears and blinking back condolences

A lowly gift cuz your world is rearranging

On the train sat beside a girl with paper cranes and

She feels so ashamed cuz she'd rather send a benjamin

But maybe hope's the better currency for this millennium

Life is but a dream but a dream is all we hope for

Like the light you cannot stifle shining behind closed doors

Like the song you shouldn't sing

You sing until your throat's sore

Like the love that never dies though life itself is so short

And your beauty is resilience

Holding on to nothing but the fact you will rebuild again

And i know you will rebuild my friend

We'll go to any length no distance is too significant

I'll cross a stormy river

Dig the deepest tunnel

Build a bridge over

Any length to love you

I'll bear any fate

Carry it double

However much the stretch

I'll go any length to love you

Rebuilding is a struggle i feel it you feeling crumbled

Your spirit's still recovering conflicted with god above us

Have we been punished why what justifies suffering nothing

I see no reason for people to lose their homes

From right under

Maybe it's mother nature's way of saying we need a change

Crusades of war and terrorism synonyms of the same

So filled with hate in our veins and racist youtube tirades

Still makes me sick hot 97played the tune on the waves

But i can't sit here in shame just hoping and praying

This ain't no dream within a dream

There ain't no totem to save 'em

It's as real as it gets when you realize death

Cuz when you lose someone you truly redefine strength

So i'll utilize this pen

My arms don't reach across the seas but songs move any length

Any length to love you

Rest and peace to all the fallen your strength is eternal

I'll cross a stormy river

Dig the deepest tunnel

Build a bridge over

Any length to love you

I'll bear any fate

Carry it double

However much the stretch

I'll go any length to love you
