点击复制The Third Needle
Verse 1
We lined up straight on schoolyard ground
One single needle passed from arm to arm around
They said it’s safe just don’t you fear
We never knew the price we’d pay for years
We barely learned to read or write
Our fate was sealed before we grew
That quiet call: “Next one please”
Turned so many dreams to bruises deep
Verse 2
Later the lines on test results
Cut through the dark like knives in silent nights
We dare not speak we dare not see
The wounds that carved our destiny
It’s not that we were not brave
The pain just would not fade
Those unsterilized years gone by
Became the nightmare we can’t hide
Verse 3
Years later still another line
We placed our trust in hands that claimed kind
Some hoped for peace for health for calm
But got a life they could not disarm
Trust was broken quietly
Hope was crushed silently
We bear the weight we did not earn
In silence still we live and learn
Pre-Chorus
No one asked if the needle was new
No one cared how far the pain ran through
One tiny hole beneath the skin
Held a lifetime of rain within
Chorus
Who gave us that silent third needle
Stuck in our years stuck in our soul
Stuck in the life we dare not tell
It runs through the blood where the silent sufferings dwell
Through hepatitis through AIDS through chain of harm
Through the broken trust the shattered calm
Through every soul that bears the scar
Through generations burdened far
Who still remembers those in the sun
Innocent souls too young to know what’s wrong
We gave our all for a promise of peace
But got a life of silence pain and grief
Bridge
This is not one lone tragedy
But a shared fate of humanity
Not just the shadow of one disease
But the balance of public responsibility
We don’t want empty sympathy
We don’t want careless apathy
Just truth recognition dignity
Let no part of history be buried deep
Needle or table past or today
Every life deserves a voice a way
Every life deserves to be heard
Every scar deserves its word
Ending
That unsterilized needle still remains
That unhealed wound still sustains
Waiting somewhere in time
For justice’s chime
