Dreams I live by

I see the sun in her eyes 

Haiti on his skin 

His dreams I live by 

Her tears I swim in 

Freely I stride, confidence sing to me 

Hate and ridicule mourns my absence

Prejudice seeks me 

The dreams I live by  

The reality I am in 

They judge her native tongue 

Her background left unsung 

He coats himself with pride 

And leaves it out dry 

For dreams I live by 

The air I breathe in 

Desensitized her truths 

Hardened his absence 

Their Dreams I live by 

The state I am in
