Grace -

Cover your face

Before you poison all our souls

Cover your mouth

Before it tells us something we don’t know

Cover your body

For your skin incinerates

The will of weakened men who just might lose their faith

Our heads our full of color inside

Why is it that we should hide

Who ever gave you the right to step on our pride?

What if we stood up right now

And spoke out and sung out loud

What if we all danced with joy

For what we are, would it annoy?

What if we took back our place

In this dying human race

What if we stood side by side

And changed the world with all our grace?

Why don’t you stop yourself

And learn some self restraint

Why should you just be free

While I stay here to suffocate

I’m not an object, but a woman

Don’t you see

It would do you some good

To learn the way to talk to me

Our hearts are full of so many dreams

And so much more that we can achieve

Are you scared you might not be able to compete?

What if we stood up right now

And spoke out and sung out loud

What if we all danced with joy

For what we are, would it annoy?

What if we took back our place

In this dying human race

What if we stood side by side

And changed the world with all our grace?

You can keep on trying to hold us down

Keep us blind and dumb so we won’t figure out

All your sad attempts to take control

Of our bodies, minds, and of our souls

What if we stood up right now

And spoke out and sung out loud

What if we all danced with joy

For what we are, would it annoy?

What if we took back our place

In this dying human race

What if we stood side by side

And changed the world with all our grace?
