Sister girl
Wanna tell you about this thing
That's been weighing heavy on my heart
Haunts both my dreams and my first breath
Hmmm where to start, well..
Revolution it seems has become an antique
When in my youth
Revolution was what we rose
With the sun to seek we were fierce
Now, our glory days are nothing
But a page in an edge worn book
An afro
A raised fist
A black beret
Black pride
Set aside
Reduced to mere history
It saddens me
Mm
It saddens me
But will these words fall on deaf ears
Cos my tears won't fill up the riverbed of resistance and change
It's gone dry and gone and unknown are the names
Which gave that river its tranquility, its beautiful force and godspeed
Rise up out of the complacency induced sleep we need
An Awakening
