I remember a time when it was ok to question,
To ask why that girl was a different colour...

Everything is misty and I can't hear a sound,
I seem to be floating just above the ground...

Hidden under a hat and a somber exterior,
I wonder what you have locked inside...

I am a crying child of a crying nation,
I struggle to survive each day...

Never intruding, yet always right there,
Watching, guiding and supporting your soul...

I miss you.
When I listen to the sound of a piano softly...

God is the luminescence of the moon's glow,
God is the way the stars always shine...

I saw you last night.
You were at home...me? outside...

When I was with him I felt in such bliss,
I felt safe, secure and never alone...

How am I?
I'm fine...

Hidden under a hat and a somber exterior,
I wonder what you have locked inside...

I see the sparkle behind your gaze,
The way you hold me in your sight...
