Please wake me when I'm free
I cannot bear captivity
where my culture I'm told holds no significance
I'll wither and die in ignorance
But my inner eye can c a race
who reigned as kings in another place
the green of trees were rich and full
and every man spoke of beautiful
men and women together as equals
War was gone because all was peaceful
But now like a nightmare I wake 2 c
That I live like a prisoner of poverty
Please wake me when I'm free
I cannot bear captivity
4 I would rather be sticken blind
than 2 live without expression of mind

Can't originality be accepted. Can't segregation be rejected. Can't oppression be deflected. Can't our causes be directed. Can't this hate remain subjected. Can't a cure just be injected.

We all have the capacity to love, Yet there's a propensity to hate. Search for peace's white dove, It is never too late. Don't forget your tradition, But don't be ruled by the past.
