The Barricade

I saw your silhouette You were caught between the sun and the water cannon Particles threw rainbows to the sky You held my hand As the tear gas filled our lungs We clung so tight, we felt so alone Above the banging shields I thought of home We could pretend that we were never needed Why don't we just go home We could pretend that we were never needed Remember the barricade Remember we laughed when they told us we were needed We stepped up and saw it through Remember the peaceful march The agents penetrated We were infiltrated, subjugated And through it all we longed for our home We could pretend that we were never needed Why don't we just go home We could pretend that we were never needed
