Ben S Dixon - Life Erased (Lyric Video)

"Life Erased" from my album "Oh Propitiation" coming out on Jan 24th 2020

Not Okay, not okay, not okay
This is not okay

Cries that are silent
They scream from the womb
A haven of safety
But for many a tomb

A child abandoned, a life he'll never know
A babe forgotten, a life she'll never own

This is not okay
To take a life to fix your circumstance
This is life erased
To take the breath from the lungs of the helpless

This is not okay
For our rights to destroy another
A child suffocates
And we move on and say
This life is all about me
A child falls asleep
Its a crime, its murder
Life erased

Its not okay
Its not okay

Did you pack up your conscience
In a box to gather dust under your bed
You fail to see the selfishness
Inside your solution

This is not okay
To take a life to fix your circumstance
This is life erased
To take the breath from the lungs of the helpless

This is not okay
For our rights to destroy another
A child suffocates
And we move on and say
This life is all about me
A child falls asleep
Its a crime, its murder
Life erased

Its time to speak up
Their cries oh so quiet
Its time to take the stand and end this violence
Its time to breach the selfishness, its blindness
Its time to be the voice for the silent

Life erased
I can't believe whats happening
Life erased
This is sickening
Life erased
Oh God forgive this nation
Life erased
Oh God please save these children

This is not okay
For our rights to destroy another
A child suffocates
And we move on and say
This life is all about me
A child falls asleep
Its a crime, its murder
Life erased

This is not okay
This is life erased
This is not okay
Its a crime, its murder, life erased
This is not okay
This is life erased
This is not okay
Its a crime, its murder, life erased
