Passin’ the torch
To the next generation ooh
Not sitting right to leave ’em with this mess
That we’ve done
Truth be told so many wrongs
Been goin’ for so long
Blinded for lifetimes, ya know
And we know this is true: we need a world for me and you
And we hide away, but we’re here to stay
Come join us & sit around this fire
Burnin’ up all the woulda shoulda coulds
Weaving our tapestry of solutions
Whispered from the stars
And you know
We gotta help ourselves
And we know
And we know this is true: we need a world for me and you
And we hide away, but we’re here to stay

More than anything, Here to Stay is an invitation—to heal, to connect, and to help build something meaningful.
