Bridge and Tunnel

Your words come in waves, in ways you wouldn't know Hands or fists, words or broken bones We'll carve our names in faces made of stone Choose your words, we're better left alone What it takes to make it on our own is all we're worth March to the unknown Walk through waves and wade where others won't Choose your words, say what others don't Your words were the loudest we heard Your towers of steel let us know who you were Your stare sent the birds to the air Your hands on the wheel let us know you were there Our hands bear the marks of a man Our knees made to kneel will allow us to stand Our heads will be counted instead Our wounds, they will heal but the virus will spread
