Let Me Cry

Let me cry 
Offload my pain 
Take away my grief
Redeem my heart with peace
Chi mu free me yes chi mu free me 
Wash away my shame 
Clean me up with love 
Sweep away my death from near days 
Replace my life with courage
Chi mu free me yes chi mu free me 

Let me cry 
My community is dying
Who cares 
Despite our obvious reality
Life goes on in a land 
Were survival means forced royalty
Your opinion don't matter 
So I call on my God 
Chi mu free me yes chi mu free me
Free me from unmerited brutalities
Of my community
Free me from the oppression
Of powers above my elbow
I need peace ??
