Red


I beat from within The quiet river of life Flowing through my veins I crave another To hear the tribal beating On their red river banks I want nothing more than I want To be loved Skin, gender, religion Nothing matters to The red river banks I want to be needed I need to be wanted Who I am Where I'm from What I believe Nothing matters to The red river bank I am human Treat me as such Let me love Let me live
