Us
Let's ignore the fact
we're ignorant
disregard our disrespect.
Let's cover our covetous
nature
and not despise sin we
detect.
For our minds are weak and
wither
and we can't control our
parts.
Like a tiny wooden sliver
fear finds ways to stab
our hearts.
Here are those who are
embittered
soft skin hides a shell of
steel
see a world thats grey and
littered
merchants tell us how to
feel
And every insult that has
hurt us
Every gift that silence
stole
Every lie told ever deeper
Has left a scar upon our
soul.
We are a people of
forgetting
Never lessoned to forgive
and in the heart of life,
this dark mess
We've forgotten how to
live.
Teach me again the light
of children
of magic worlds in dull of
day.
When I've reached the
brink of breaking
please reteach me how to
play
Someone reach into our
deepness
and pull out what is
within
for I know there's
goodness lurking
suck the poison from my
skin.
In the cities and the
country
banish shadows from our
prayers
we surrendered far too
meekly
and what was ours fast
became theirs.
Now let us reclaim our
freedom
Dust our hearts upon the
shelves
find our thoughts, our
words, our actions
And through this reclaim
ourselves.
