let the darkness surround you
Lost and Insecure on this gravel road
taking every step with a burdened load
too much stress in my mind to think
Let every moment pass without a blink
blow out a candle, let the darkness close in.
only 3 words, that can ruin it all
ones that break hearts, cause us to fall
if only we would see it coming before it puts us to shame
only 3 words, that is all it takes.
Smiling and Sure on this battlefield
drawing out weapons in battle mode
too little hope in my mind to fly
let the baby go to sleep without a lullaby
turn out the lights, let the dark surround you.
only 3 words, that can ruin it all
ones that break hearts, cause us to fall
if only we would see it coming before it puts us to shame
only 3 words, that is all it takes.

"Once social justice begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. And you cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore." -Cesar Chavez
