Compassionate Reserve
Building an army
Of understanding and pain
Death-wishes and laughter
Angry to regain
The voice that violence silenced
The pride that shame shut away
The love that fear rejected
All that the hurt infected
Tired of fighting thoughts
And drowning beautiful dreams
Gone are guarded words
Now it’s time to breathe
Together we will rise
Demons will be slain
Glorious is our empathy
Victorious we will reign
