Speak Your Mind
I have been going over this text
But it is not the way my spirit flexes
I have something deep that my heart
Wants to reveal; it is not the common
Words that I used to share
Everything about it is so dear
It is the naked truth that is wrapped
Within me and the truth
That will set your spirit free
You have given me the words
That you want to hear that is
Contrary to what my heart wants to share
Reality is burning on my lips
And if I don’t get to speak my mind
I will have terrible fits
I have thought about it hard and long
And I really want to sing my heart felt song
Words that will unravel the truth
And words that will make your dream true
I will speak my mind and make this place
More livable for the human race
I know that you are not all happy with me
But I will have to face my own destiny
With fingers on my lips and money in
My pockets, I will tell you something
That you have never heard, and then you will
Know who is running the world.
I saw them standing on the hill with
Feathers flying above their head
And pride mingling in their beds
Their silence were felt throughout the room
But the flamboyant crowd on the other side
Deepens the courage that they have inside
And set the universe a blaze and the moment
Was filled with praise
Speak your mind and tell me what you see
Speak your mind while we wait for thee
Speak your mind and expose the living truth
Speak your mind and reminisce
the days of your youth,
I just want you to speak your
And escape from the wilderness inside
Just speak your mind
