So you think I do not know love
Because I do write lullabies as opiate for the masses
I do not put an innocent dove
in a cage of words to sing and soothe your trespasses
Yes I know love, I met him today
In the hunger of child's shrunken eyes, he cried too
When his flesh was not enough, say
Would you care to give some blood like real lovers do
There is a revolution that is calling
For what alone pay the price of redemption in the street
Heroes have fell and are still falling
Where children hunt water from rocks with dusty feet.
