Nineteen Years Late

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I thought I gave everything I could

And I thought my words finally stood

Above our country's actions

And above all the violent reactions

But as I see the blood in Burma

My discontent turns to paranoia

When a monk living in tranquility

Loses his life to live in peace

"Let everyone be free from harm,

"Let everyone be free from anger

"Let everyone be free from hardship"

I've lived too long in a useless bubble

Worrying about this country's troubles

Because you can't open anyone's eyes

If they are content living blind

The liberties we all take for granted

Pour out the wounds of the enlightened

Our hands are just as unclean

Because back in 88 this should have been foreseen

We're still fish in a bowl despite the efforts

Making us the logical targets

Nineteen Years Late

We are too late
