One Win Choice - Places Lyrics

You're a beautiful street
in a place you've never been.
You're the men and women
finding food in trash cans.

And we're all to blame.

You're the emptiness
in our hearts.
You're the openness
that sets us apart.
We're at once the creators.
The writers, the thinkers, the innovators.
And again, the ignorant, the black-tie thieves, and closed mind bigots.
The billions spent on bullets and bombs,
protection or propaganda?
The lives spent in service of cause,
the poetry of selflessness.

We are the fallen, the risen, the leaders, the left behind.?
