We are searchlights, we can see in the dark We are rockets, pointed up at the stars We are billions of beautiful hearts And you sold us down the river too far [CHORUS] What about us What about all the times you said you had the answers What about us What about all the broken happy ever afters What about us What about all the plans that ended in disaster What about love What about trust What about us We are problems that want to be solved We are children that need to be loved We were willing, we came when you called But many fooled us, enough is enough [CHORUS] Sticks and stones they may break these bones But then I'll be ready, are you ready It's a start of us waking up, come on Are you ready, I'll be ready I don't want control, I want to let go Are you ready, I'll be ready Now it's time to let them know Are you ready, what about [CHORUS]
