The Caretakers
We called out for help
We called out for help
Called as far as the heavens
And it feels like no matter how far we called out
All our pleas were heard by very few
Time shows no sign of slowing down
As we were the ones responsible for being the caretakers
It was up to us
I remember the times you broke down
And all we had was each other
Feeling the frustration radiating in your heart
And now it felt like we’re all alone in this journey
At some point, we told ourselves it didn’t matter
All that mattered was that we had to remain strong
As time kept passing us by
We did the best of our ability to be there
At some point, we had to learn
That their past sins are not ours
And we will continue to move forward
Give us strength
Chosen from the start
May time heal all the damage in our scarred hearts
Give us strength
For the task given to us
For we are the ones
Chosen to be the caretakers.
