We’re going to the top, we’re knocking on the door

Sick of chasing all the time for basic human rights

People with dementia are still people first

Don’t write us off as old, some are young or getting worse

Worked and live all our lives, paid our tax and worked our time

        Em      D                 C

How little do you know about me?

Come back in time to where I am, don’t drag me to your place

Comfort me and dispel my fear
