Every Child Matters Lyrics – Clint Sock
Singer: Clint Sock
Title: Every Child Matters
〈intro〉
Please find us children
Keep looking, never stop
Every child matters
Every child matters
〈verse 1〉
Why am i here? why can’t i go home?
Why did you cut my hair? is your heart made of stone?
Why don’t you care? why can’t i see my mom?
Don’t touch me there! this is not where i belong!
Why did you hurt me? why can’t i sing my songs?
Where are my friends? where have they gone?
Why can’t you see my tears? why can’t you hear me cry?
Why can’t you calm my fears? why did i have to die?
〈chorus)
Can you find me? i’m between the walls
Underneath the ground, my spirit walks these halls
I’m cold and tired, i’m lost and alone
I need to be found, please bring me home
〈verse 2〉
Don’t ever stop the search, just listen to the walls
You can hear my hurt, nobody answered when i called
Do you hear my whispers? whispering from the ground?
I need listeners, i am waiting to be found
I lye in the ground, of this residential school
If you open your eyes, i am not invisible
You’re close, almost near me! walking above my tomb
I was not a runner, i was sent to my doom
〈chorus)
Can you find me? i’m between the walls
Underneath the ground, my spirit walks these halls
I’m cold and tired, i’m lost and alone
I need to be found, please bring me home
〈verse 3〉
Raped beaten, experimented on and abused
Even in our dreams, we couldn’t escape the accused
The government had dreams, to take the indian out of the child
Called us savages, into this hell we were exiled
Thousands upon thousands, thrown in mass graves
I hope you hear us! i am trying to be brave
My friends, they were killed, at the time it was okay by the law
Racism, hate and violence, was all in the school we saw
〈chorus〉
Can you find me? i’m between the walls
Underneath the ground, my spirit walks these halls
I’m cold and i’m tired, i’m lost and alone
I need to be found, please bring me home
Can you find me? i’m between the walls
Underneath the ground, my spirit walks these halls
I’m cold and tired, i’m lost and alone
I need to be found, please bring me home
Can you find me? i’m between the walls
Underneath the ground, my spirit walks these halls
I’m cold and tired, i’m lost and alone
I need to be found, please bring me home
Can you find me? i’m between the walls
Underneath the ground, my spirit walks these halls
I’m cold and tired, i’m lost and alone
I need to be found, please bring me home
〈verse 4〉
The horrors, the nightmares, the never ending trauma
The generational heartbreaks, wishing we could have stayed home with mama
The horrors that to this day, thousands of children are still missing
There is no apology great enough for a fix, last residential school closed in 1996
Let’s hang an orange ribbon, for all the children that have died
For those lonesome nights, we couldn’t say goodbye
For the heartbroken children, that managed to survive
You are a warrior, i am grateful you’re alive
