It's times like these
which come more often than I'd like
when it's almost impossible to look on the brightside
Everything I love, all I hold sacred
is threatened--doomed to be taken
It's rare I see beauty without thinking of it's inevitable end
how so much has been lost
or all that could have been
But I can't forgeet
the glimpses of hope
or the ones who refuse to give up
Time and time again
we've seen that a few
with dedication can make great change
can bring about liberation
Cages cut open in the night
Animals run free for the first time
An act of love that saves lives
Corporations that seemed untouchable
are now exposed and vulnerable
HLS on the brink of collapse
due to uncompromising pressure from SHAC
In a world of insensitivity
there is hope for the defenseless
The ones who have been caught
and those who remain unseen
believe in the cause enough to risk everything
Those who've been caught,
those who remain are the ones who will set the world free
