Truth
The skies crumble on our toes
And our walls fall like Jericho's
But like the house of Rahab,
We can stand
So when we find hurt,
Let us heal ourselves together
When I neigh, you think I hiss mtcheew!
So we are split like fractions
Conquered by our exploiters
And exploited by our conquerors
We have missed understanding,
Let us find her together
The wars in our heads are worse than those in Sambiza
So we jump into lagoons
Hoping to quench the fire
But that only sends us to the lake of fire
Let us find each other's battles
And fight them together
We are lost to lust
That we find each other's fears and make them tears
One finds an aisle
Another builds a mountain across
Let us find each other
And tell the truth to each other
