IT's Our Fault

It’s Our Fault

We, the true men in the world must stop turning
Our backs on these women and girls and start learning
The facts; white, yellow, brown, black
They all have been attacked
So it's a matter of fact
We should do SOMETHING about that

Give them the courage and strength to speak words
So that they can stop hiding and denying the things burned
Into their psychological skin, which in turn
Changes their relationships with all men, so I've heard
About the dreams that they have; the wanting to overcome
But it's hard for them alone to come up out of the dumps

They need help and we must
Have faith within us;
That one day though it's rough
We can all see them trust
Themselves enough to know that it's not right
And to come out and tell, not tomorrow but tonight
I AM HERE; if anyone else reading this feels the same,
Open up your ears and your eyes to accept blame

It is our fault; we're the ones that misguided the youth
It is our fault; we're the ones who turned our backs to the truth
It is our fault: disbelieving and thinking it can't be you
It is our fault: we're the ones who violated them too

So, what can we do? We must first change our treating
So that physical and emotional scars can stop bleeding
Then, maybe we can then begin to rebuild
The gaping hole in her soul, and the spirit that's been killed
I believe anyone can overcome anything
With guidance and support, it's all a possibility
