Lyrics

Outcry fills my gaze
Leading me astray
Status quo holds fast
Progress-drowning grasp

I fear the tides of change
My ego rearranged
What if granting rights
Precedes the loss of mine?

Can’t see the oxygen I breathe
Debating my failing
Derailing

I stand above now how can I stand back?
To rock the boat with empathy I lack?
Struggle with the straw-man in my head
Disputes long dead

A worldview which infers
With stereotypes and slurs
“Not all of us are human”
