The Parents Were Right

They laughed at the mothers who stood in the rain
Holding their babies, whispering names
Said it was random, said it was chance
But we saw the change in a single glance
Doctors in towers looked away
The proof was there but buried that day

They said it was settled, they said it was done
But truth doesn’t sleep, it waits for the sun

The parents were right, the doctors were wrong
They carried the truth for so long
Years of denial, years in disguise
Now the veil is lifting before our eyes
The parents were right, their story lives on
The echo of silence became our song

A man in a lab just asked them to see
Something went wrong in their small bodies
He lost his post, they took his name
But the questions he asked still remain
Students were told to forget his face
But the truth still leaves a trace

They said it was settled, they said it was done
But truth doesn’t sleep, it waits for the sun

The parents were right, the doctors were wrong
They carried the truth for so long
Years of denial, years in disguise
Now the veil is lifting before our eyes
The parents were right, their story lives on
The echo of silence became our song

Curriculum carved by hands of gold
Faith in the system bought and sold
But the data returned with a different tone
Three hundred voices proving what hearts have known
When courage stands where fear once lay
The quiet now rise to speak today

He never said cause, he just asked to explore
But the gatekeepers closed every door
Now new reports say the pattern’s there
In the gut and immune, a tangled affair
Had they just listened, how far we’d have come
In healing the harm they refused to see undone

They said it was settled, they said it was done
But truth doesn’t sleep, it waits for the sun

The parents were right, the doctors were wrong
They carried the truth for so long
Years of denial, years in disguise
Now the veil is lifting before our eyes
The parents were right, and now we belong
In the chorus of healing, the truth is our song

Never again will silence decide
For every child, the truth will abide
The parents were right
