Somewhere Over The Pain, Go I

Somewhere over the pain

Go I

With care over red stains


Go I


Dared to break these grey chains


Did I ?

Prepared to ache for new gains


Was I ?

Scared under the shadow of black rains
?

Not I


Red hair on a head full of coming up ahead trains


I sigh


Truth or dare in manilla yellow exchange


I try


Ruth or Ava in the big orange book of names
?

I’m high
!

Youth in prayer for a rush of pink through my veins


I fly


Oh for the rarefied taste of change

I’d die


Ready to share all the colours in my range


Am I


Steady in stare with my hazel strange


Lazy eye


Forever a pair of imperfect mermaids


I cry


For the little boy blue, where through his pain


Was I
?

Standing in a white body paired with the wrong brain


We tried


To give a fair chance to the brown case to remain


I’d die


If I breathed this mauve air still and spoke my name


I’d lie


In the purple glare of a life of pain


Not I


Somewhere over the pain


Go I
!

Riding a horse in the fair across an open plain


Where I


Have no division in there, inside that human frame


It’s mine
!

That I love to wear now the old colours have been drained


And I


Am standing here before you, and brighter yet the same 


Am I

And I

Am standing here before you, and brighter yet the same

Am I
