3. Beyond Their Reach (draft)

[Verse 1] I found the sealed report Buried beneath their words I read what they had done And why they kept it close I ran to tell them all No one would hear me out They said I’d misunderstood what I had seen But no one chose to live this way I know what I have read [Chorus] I’ll go where no one dares I have to trust myself Whatever waits on the road ahead I’ll find the nerve to face it This hope is stronger now than it was before This hope is not something I can abandon [Post-Chorus] Hey, ay, ay, yeah Hey, ay, ay, ha-ha We’re moving now, yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 2] We did what we were told We never asked them why Then one by one they came They knew that I was right We met beyond their reach And tried to make a choice Could we still change what they had set in place? I stood before them, barely sure Where should we begin? What can we do? No one answered me Then someone stepped beside me and said You don’t have to go alone [Chorus] We’ll go where no one dares We have to trust ourselves Whatever waits on the road ahead We’ll find the nerve to face it This hope is stronger now than it was before This hope is not something we can abandon [Post-Chorus] Hey, ay, ay, yeah (We’re going) Hey, ay, ay, ha-ha (Stay beside me) We’re moving now, yeah, yeah, yeah [Outro] This hope is not something we can abandon
