Her silence derives from intelligence She knows to speak is to be attacked Her silence derives from brilliance She keeps her thoughts inside and packed
They never let me speak For my words have no meaning They never let me speak Their reactions are demeaning
What an intellectual child! She must be bubbling with thoughts What an intellectual child! That's why her tongue is tied in knots
They never let me talk My thoughts are unworthy They never let me talk They think my mind is unhealthy
Her eyes are closed She must be thinking She won't be exposed While her thoughts are linking
My eyes are closed My dreams are dying My thoughts exposed? It's not worth trying
