My newest song:
I keep wanting to post things that I have worked on for school but then I get busy or think that the stuff I write about there is too far out to bring to internet-land. This is an exception:
Lyrics:
Deep in my heart I know how to be free
but my lineage is strewn with traps, I see.
How can we heal our complex histories?
It’s time to decolonize my concepts of authority.
(chorus)
I realize I need to re-learn how to listen,
cause that skill didn’t come with the privilege I was given;
and I want to know about solidarity,
so please have mercy; teach me.
How can I be the ally you need me to be?
Together we can deconstruct this mechanistic hegemony.
I know there’s got to be more to our reality,
with open hearts we can collaborate peacefully.
((repeat chorus))
It’s time to weave patience into this family tree.
Healing is strength; in time we all will see.
Action from love; compassionate symphony.
Don’t turn away; feel the pain and set it free.
