Keeping out of direct sunlight

We are the ones with the radiating eyes
We are the ones who have a fire inside
We are the ones only we can recognize
We've been rejected
Suffered the ignorance
Suffered the selfishness
Been pushed so far down now comes our time to surface
Turn from the light that has made them all go blind
We've been protected

All arise to what we bring
Outstretched hands unfolded wings
We've hurt ourselves
I feel the sting
Of broken hearts
And burning wings
