Let me be...

Let me share with u my story
U do all u can to listen intently
Let me whisper the name
U do the freedom shout
Let me speak words of condemnation
U ensure it's passed word of mouth
Let me take the hit
U say my epilogue

Let me strap this on
U pick up the pieces
Let there be peace
U battle on regardless
Let me be taken away
U do all u can to get me out
Let me be the first to stand on the frontlines
U watch my back

Let me survey the scene
U hold on to my every word closely
Let me seperate the real from the phoney
U see them for what they are - hypocrisy
Let me look the oppressor in the eye
U do what u can to make the resistance multiply
Let me give up my life in sacrifice
U make sure questions are asked when I die

Let me paint it black
U see a man of many acts
Let me draw the curtain
U respect me for that
Let me inject a willingness
U do all u can not to detract
Let me envisage heaven & hell
U count the human cost

Let me appreciate the sun rise
U should also see the signs of God
Let me string words of poetic justice
U adhere to the questions & answers
Let me stand firm on this ground
U dig yourself out of the quick sand
Let me reach for the sky
U break the chained shackles of lies

Let me fight for my life
U protect my right
Let me be the voice of the voiceless
U do all u can to stay focussed
Let me be the artist who paints the picture
U add the missing colour
Let me tangle with danger
U make sure that I will be remembered

Let me be churned out on this journey
U be weary of the fall-out that follows me
Let me be a rebel who dispells all doubt
U be someone who finds a way out
Let me profess my truth
U shield me from these fools
Let me love who I choose
U stop the out cry that's sure to ensue

Let me put my demons to rest
U carry on no matter the cost
Let me march to my land
U count my every step
Let me recall the forgotten child
U ensure the orphan finds a helping hand
Let me be the clinched fist
U be the collective anguish

Let me be the battering ram
U be the force behind its impact
Let me dream a lil' dream
U help realise it's more even if u have to scream
Let me be your mouth piece
U be my protest march
Let me be your instrument of contempt
U be my true friend

Let me be...
