CUT DOWN
Seventeen Brave: Unveiling the Heartache of a Nation
Lyrics
Cut Down
The act of cutting down
No one should see
Preventing others from witnessing something
Cut Down
A repetition of the act of cutting down
In the Land of the Free
In the country that boasts freedom
Stay down
Remain in a lower position
Words to fear
Words that instill fear
Stay down
Continuing to stay in a lower position
In the land of tears
In a place filled with sorrow
Seventeen Brave and Strong
Seventeen individuals characterized as brave and strong
Lost to Hate, Life gone wrong
Lost their lives due to hatred and a life gone astray
Seventeen Brave and Strong
Reiteration of the bravery and strength of seventeen individuals
Find a Way to right the wrong
Expressing a need to correct or rectify a wrongdoing
Lay down
Lying down
Hold on to me
Requesting support or comfort
Lay down
Repeating the action of lying down
We all can see
All can witness or perceive
Cut down
Repetition of the act of cutting down
No one should see
Emphasizing the secrecy or privacy of the act
Cut down
Reiteration of cutting down in the land of freedom
In the land of the free
Emphasizing the paradox of cutting down in a free country
Seventeen Brave and Strong
Seventeen individuals described as brave and strong
Lost to Hate, Life gone wrong
Lost their lives due to hatred and a life gone astray
Seventeen Brave and Strong
Reiteration of the bravery and strength of seventeen individuals
Find a Way to right the wrong
Expressing a need to correct or rectify a wrongdoing
