Formerly titled "Monkey" for our Monkey D. Luffy Cycle of songs. "D." and "Luffy" haven't happened yet so heres the new title from the chorus!

lyrics

Cast us adrift never mind the outcome,
It’s now our day to reach for the sun

You were not ready to ensure the future,
If it meant just giving up a bit yourself
No you won’t be the ones to stitch and suture,
No you won’t be the ones to help

So come together now it’s time for mending,
We will not shy away from our fate,
We’ll be the generation to remember,
You’re not the ones who make the change

We are, we are, we are,
We are, we are, we are

You were the ones we loved that raised and taught us,
So we remember the great things you’ve done,
And now our time has come you say we’re thoughtless,
And now we say our work has just begun

We will not choose the path that you have chosen,
So can we run to aid, how fast? How far?
You feel the friction of the speed, you’re frozen,
You were not fast enough to help

We are, we are, we are,
We are, we are, we are

Cast us adrift never mind the outcome,
It’s now our day to reach for the sun
Clutch to the past sink like a stone,
It’s time to face the madness and atone

Shake off the ugly past that tightly holds us,
You’re not the ones that they can trust

We are, we are, we are,
We are, we are, we are
