Again I ask, where inside the heart of man can there be any safety
Cause these are the roses that have been drained of life from obvious questions
But this bud blooms continuously; it seems only to be stepped upon
Child
Child you bleed colors of which I cannot begin to name
Your hands seem to be your own personal Jesus
But there are scars all over your body
And sometimes I wish I could cradle you in my arms
Back to sweet, sweet sleep, if you could just breathe
Because in the end that’s all we can do
Oh darling child if I could but cradle, just cradle you.
Oh their problems pale in comparison to ours
But our shoulders always stay an Amazonian strong
The pounding fist is no one else’s, we are the ones that beat our chests loudly
Proudly
Without Ignorance we save many
We are victorious by the end of the day.
Oh how our lungs tire, our skin becomes so tight
And men may leave just to come back and stare at our loving eyes, because it is inside that we hide
So cleverly, so righteously we cling to what is us, no one will ever know.
Oh the devil will lie, but I promise darling we are victorious at the end of the day
And perhaps The Lord has not promised us anyone and perhaps our road is the one less traveled
But isn’t it better to be alone than to be kicked and spat at?
Oh we must speak spears and we must wear shields
Our kind is represented as Jezebel. Who is wrong once again?
We are the “flaw” in creation. I ask you now, who is wrong once again?
I cry out loud
And tear my hair
And my fists fly
For all that was done to you.
Child, oh child you bleed colors of which I cannot begin to name
If I could but cradle you back to sweet, sweet sleep.
If you could but learn to breathe
I know, I feel, that everything will be fine and just again.
I know, I feel, that everything will be fine and just again.
