And You Said We Shouldn'T Talk

you said we shouldn't talk When the rain come mightily on us You said we shouldn't cry of pain When those animals leave us in Between misery and sorrow Why tear my spirit and make Me live my life like a battered fool Who knows not his left and right And you said i shouldn't talk? We are human in human form And you said we shouldn't talk After what they did to our brothers and sister. I will make my voice sound louder Like the dancers drum not hidden until We are pushed to discover who we are And what lies inside of us. The dreams of walking begins after yesterday's Struggle to crawl and fallen in tears. And You said we shouldn't talk when Mothers failed to give breast to their babies You said we shouldn't talk when father had beaten that boy to death We have to talk to erase those fears in us It is only our weapon of war.
