Dying Generation(I will raise my hands)

I will raise my hands.

Into the sky against the wars.

I will  raise my hands.

Into the sky in hope for peace.

I will raise my hands.

I will raise my hands. 

 

I was born into the arms.

Of a teenage mother.

Grew up in the presence of my

Fathers shadow.

My life isn’t perfect, but

I am still here.

With my hands in the air.

 

I live in a time where it’s

Normal to not feel good enough.

I exist in a time where I’ll

never feel truly beautiful, but 

I am still here.

With my hands in the air. 

 

The end of the world, is 

always happening tomorrow.

Still we’re told to live for today.

Tell her how you feel.

Kiss him before it is too late.
Stand up when the room is silent

and remind those ancient minds that ignore you

 that we are still here.

With our hands in the air. 

 

We are the voice of a dying generation.

consumed by wars. Fighting for

Peace that we know will never come completely.

We are the voice of a dying generation.

We are not completely gone.

There’s still time to come back to life.

Keep your hands in the air.

Keep screaming. Keep your hands

in the air. Let them know that we are

still here.

I very much enjoyed the message you've wrought here. It's a much more positive take on the situation than I've taken, but it's always good to see that there are still optimists about. xD

It all seems to fit nicely. Only one thing I saw wrong, the spelling of "peace", but that's not a biggy--a mistake I've made myself. Very minor.

"The end of the world is/always happening tomorrow/still we're told to live for today." -- Favorite line.

Good write. It seems very lyrical.
