Cry for help
Smiling eyes turn to backwards cries for help
in a world that is blind to self where is the help
is it god is it government in this time of need
why do we feel the need to stick with greed
as a bed we sleep in it's cold out there
in the world of forgotten cries
hid behind national lies
they close our mouths as we remain blind
with rights given that have supposedly been granted
but to our knowledge a privilege
as they uphold the rights they say we own
we cry in need of shelter
after they take away our homes
keeping the secret of our upper hand from us,
cause they know the laws, and my history that denotes who I really am
we can only dream a dream of a world that our cry of help
will be a ring from heaven where paradise is free where we all be free.
