Black Canvas

And let us paint on black canvas And nail it to the wall Like the cross that we bare But never show to all And let us paint on black canvas To make our voices heard With colours that stand out bright Highlighting our internal plight And let us paint on black canvas With our feet and leave footprints in the sand So the water washes it away For us to keep creating once more And let us paint on black canvas So our soul bellows out Showing off the bright white pieces Throwing the light far, like a muted shout.
