If We've Fallen

If we've fallen in these dark waters
who will break these crimson fetters?
why will our loved and lost
have paid such high a cost?

If we've fallen into dark times
who will ring life's golden chimes?
who will care for our old and young
so they can grow and be strong?

If we've fallen into despair
who will take on this world's care?
are we not responsible
for the creatures big and small?

If we've fallen to our fear
how will we protect what's dear?
who will open the young minds
to the glory in life one finds?

No I simply can't agree
to stand here and die uselessly
we are the caretakers of our home
and I will not let this be our tomb
Our duty is to great, you see
for us to give in to misery

If sadness reigns in your soul
give this thought one long pull

If you've fallen, dead before your due
Who will remember you?
