"We'll Be Here (When You're Gone)" lyrics

And through the fence I see a ghost
Of a place that used to breathe
You know it choked away the sun
But we still had food to eat
And now everyone is gone
To a place that won't be home
Can they keep their family strong?
Will they make it on their own?

And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on
We'll be here when you're gone

And then one day we realized
That they couldn't hear our voice
And it's so hard to understand
When it's caught up in the noise
But the ones who fight and die
Are the truth inside the lie
Now it's all built on our backs
And we struggle to survive

And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on
We'll be here when you're gone

And we'll be standing when you're gone
And we'll be heard again
We missed our chance but not for long
I know somehow we will hold on
We'll be here when you're gone

Will hold on
We'll be here when you're gone
