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.
