Y'all know this one already too! Huge thanks to all the help on this one.

lyrics

Stuck in this limbo of life (find our way)
How can we grow when surrounded by hate
Redline out your ignorance, privilege your stay
Don’t try to tell me who belongs it’s not your fate

How could we ever be sure?
That is wasn’t a game?
That there’d be a home we could find.
Caged in by the world around and when we try
To subvert the old ways, we become stigmatized

Stuck in this limbo of life (find our way)
How can we grow when surrounded by hate
Redline out your ignorance, privilege your stay
Don’t try to tell me who belongs it’s not your fate

And politicians, waste away and only decide what should come of our fate
When their own interests’ in mind
It’s high time that we change this world around for us all
So tired of living this way- Stuck within archaic lines

“Where did ya come from?” Go and ask the same of yourself
And it is really the same, when we’re all on stolen.
So tired of a world that tells our true selves to hide
And few still profit of all, and demonize all who don’t stand

Got no more feelings inside, just our heads
Came here to find a new life, still face threats
Trying to find a better place, but caught in this web
If half these people had their way we’d all be dead

Stuck in this limbo of life (find our way)
How can we grow when surrounded by hate
Redline out your ignorance, privilege your stay
Don’t try to tell me who belongs it’s not your fate
