What Have You Done
Rising from Broken Dreams: Kindred Connection's Reflection on Resilience
Lyrics
You said there is no space for us to dream
You expressed that there is no room for our dreams.
You watch us walking on thin ice but you hold still
You observe us navigating a precarious situation, yet you remain motionless.
You let us down and we fall apart, can't you see?
