Verse 1: Back then we Shibes laughed and we played or got to work and built and we made Throughout the halls our laughter would ring creating and sharing such wondrous things Ideas abounded, marvels conceived The world took notice of what we'd achieved Little did we know, it would all go away When those we had trusted chose to betray Chorus: Oh, our reach was so much smaller just fractions of pennies on a dollar Tiny then but with mighty plans All of that you ripped from our hands We'll never know what might've been All of these dreams left unseen Broken hearts and broken trust You stole our future from us Verse 2: What would we have, where would we be? Questions with answers that we'll never see We want to start fresh but still many feel sad Watching DOGE grow, knowing what they had Trapped by the past, feeling despondent Our pain is real, how do we move beyond it? Can we gather new hope and follow our heart? Find it within us to try and restart? Chorus: Oh, our reach was so much smaller just fractions of pennies on a dollar Tiny then but with mighty plans All of that you ripped from our hands We'll never know what might've been All of these dreams left unseen Broken hearts and broken trust You stole our future from us Bridge: In the years since it's become a joke To take from others until they're broke What happened to us taught others to plan To take from the hopeful as much as they can And oh, how successful they've been mountains of riches like you've never seen an industry built, now bursts at the seams leaving only the husks of dreams Chorus: Oh, our reach was so much smaller just fractions of pennies on a dollar Tiny then but with mighty plans All of that you ripped from our hands We'll never know what might've been All of these dreams left unseen Broken hearts and broken trust You stole our future from us!
