Lyrics Least of These - Strengthen What Remains

Least of These

She never knew of the dream
Born and raised in the factory
The same place her mother worked until her last breath
She dreams of a future, while she works for penny’s on the dollar
And one day she too will die her mothers death
Still she holds on to her aspirations as if they were her saving grace
Yet Deep down she knows she’ll never have the opportunity to leave this place
Behind every product we consume there is a face
Behind her eyes lie immeasurable pain
Her life amounts to nothing but the corporations gain
She is the face of injustice
The result of a glutinous free market
Just a disposable mechanism of the machine
And at the age of 16
She forsakes her god
She forsakes her life
She forsakes her dreams
Innocence lost
And found dead on the streets
I’ll be the voice for those who cannot speak
She is the least of these
