There is no Dead End


The dead end sign is just a sign.

And that dividing wall is just a wall.

Those stereotypes are just words

from the ignorant ones.

I am better than what you think.

I am more than just a minority,

More than an immigrant,

More than stereotype

That you have put on me.

That dead end sign is just a sign.
I can simply walk around it.

And that dividing wall is just a wall.
Like the Berlin Wall, I can knock it down.

Do not try to stop me,

Do not try to oppress me.

Please, do not fear me.

I am better than what you think.

I am more than just a minority,

More than a immigrant,

More than a stereotype

That you have put on me.

That dead end sign is just a sign.
