Symmetry


I made a decision 

To follow my intuition 

Without interference

From fears little demons 


This voyage I must take 

To relieve all these aches 

That make me forget

All that’s at stake 


I will make it back to a land 

Where I’m free to be 

All that I can see

Remembering all that was taken from my ancestors 

Was taken from me


Symmetry

 

The stars bind our missions

When bars blind our visions

We defend our territory

From their incisions

Courage surges through our veins and we ascend 

We remind them ‘listen!’ 

We glisten 

We remind them hope isn’t just light

It’s where darkness isn’t
