they had us right where some thought they wanted us

for the most part

willing to agree with whatever seemed reasonable

again, for the most part

that which at the time seemed the best way to care

they had us right where some thought they wanted us

they could have walked all over us, stomped, even

they could have removed every gift, forever

they could have done anything they wanted with us

they certainly had the opportunity they had the power

but they didn’t

what some thought they’d do, they didn’t do

they didn’t do a thing some feared, and more

gave back all they took as quickly as could
