Tears For Terri

Terri's been sacrificed
   for someone's lust.
She's been regarded as
   lower than the dust.

What is the reason for
   laws so unjust?
I cannot overcome
   feelings of disgust.
Would they have let her live
   if she could chew?
When will the heartless courts be
   coming after you?

Our soldiers know about
   what's going on.
It must be hard for them,
   far away from home
To fight for human rights
   judges deny.
How long can soldiers fight
   watching Terri die?

Let us not forget
what our courts have said:
'She needs special care;
she might as well be dead.'

We will not forget you, Terri.
We'll remember what you die for!

I wrote this song for Terri Schindler Schaivo, who was unjustly sentenced to die of hunger and thirst, even though her loving family pleaded to take care of her.
