I swear I’ve cried a thousand tears behind closed doors alone this year Be smart now, girl, you must stay strong this sorrow will not last for long Everyone dreams without sleeping but waking nightmares can creep in breaking the clay you’ve made from dust adhering fear to your new cuts
Don’t be afraid of being cut down this forest is full of a lack of sound Branches sway, they play to the rhythm find your roots before the division of the schism sets in Mother Earth- she gave you sweet life from the heavens, took the stars for your eyes
She gave you skin so you could choose to swim either way, Father Time’s got your number pinned to the sins that you have created say “Only God can alleviate them!” but God’s too busy fighting these wars tell me, who’s chosen now? And who should be scorned? Well, well- Presidents and Queens alike have to say that they fight “The Good Fight” but as a young person in this day and age I know not to trust, but I know how to pray
And I swear we’ve cried a thousand tears behind closed doors alone this year Be smart now children, we must stay strong this sorrow will not last for long
