We Are PEOPLE Not NUMBERS.

(v1)This is the place we came
To find ourselves
And meet each other
Now it’s crashing down
A burning plane of ruined lives
And grieving souls

(chorus) Did you ever stop to think
That we are people
Not numbers
Did you ever stop to think
That this is where we belong?
All you saw was the money
That wasn’t there
And forgot about the people who were

(v2) So now we sit alone
In our own place
Thinking what to do
But we’re at a loss
A motionless army of friends
Who need this life

(chorus) Did you ever stop to think
That we are people
Not numbers
Did you ever stop to think
That this is where we belong?
All you saw was the money
That wasn’t there
And forgot about the people who were

(v3) Yeah, you never believed
You didn’t hear
Never had faith in us
We’re not a joke
We’re not your puppets dancing on strings
We are people

(chorus) Did you ever stop to think
That we are people
Not numbers
Did you ever stop to think
That this is where we belong?
All you saw was the money
That wasn’t there
And forgot about the people who were

(bridge) And we can rant and rave
You’ll laugh in our face
When it comes down to it
We’ll fight this war
We’re not going down
Like docile little sheep
Like you’d prefer
We are the army of the fallen
The ones you want to die off
We won’t back down for you
We won’t go down in flames

(chorus) You never stopped to think
That we are people
Not numbers
You never stopped to think
That this is where we belong?
All you saw was the money
That wasn’t there
And forgot about the people who were
And still are

(outro)We are the broken hearts
We are the faithful friends
We are the beaten warriors
We are the deadened souls
We are the ones who pray
We are the ones who hold steady
We will be the ones to win


[as of this afternoon, six of our teachers got cut. last year, our synod tried to close our school. now, it seems they want to drive us into the ground. please pray for us. we don't know what to think anymore.]
