Not Sheltered...2002

We who are not sheltered
We who feel the pain
We who help the helpless
Who will shelter us from the rain?

Strip us of our dignity
Strip us of our will to fight
Take the voices from the children
Who gave them the right?

We who fight with hushed voices
We who on our knees
Beg for our voices to be heard
Who will shelter we?

We who are the homeless
We who give till empty
We who save the children
Who will shelter we?

We who honor loyal hearts
We who stand for those who fall
Who will give us back our voices?
Who will give shelter to us all?

We who are not sheltered
We who feel the pain
We who help the helpless
Who will shelter us from the rain?

We who fight with hushed voices
We who on our knees
We who save the children
Who will shelter we?
