Wake Up Child

Poor little thing

In so much pain

Confusing your mind to hatred and rage

You've become your own oppressor now

Forgetting your purpose, the cause, and way

First corrupted by a white mans dream

Now trapped as the role of victim

Thought you were better than that

Thought you were stronger

Didn't I hear you say you come from kings and queens

Well where is your crown

Where is your virtue,

Your courage and wisdom

For rage is not enough to heal your wounds

Hatred is not enough free yourself

Fear is not your ally

Hypocrisy suits you not

Your people need you child

But you're busy being lost and pitiful

Blaming and cursing in the name of truth

But solution and solidarity is what we need

Where are you child

When the war began

You were in your bed plotting revenge

But we needed you on the front lines

We needed you in the background

We needed you and you needed us

But you were busy being distracted by shame

WAKE UP LITTLE ONE

It's time to heal

Can't do it asleep

Can't do it alone

Wake up little one

It's been far too long since you've worn your crown
