the gradual.

by lindisa-mathabela-1

I and I We are alone No man is here For us to lean on Perhaps it is time For us to stand on our own And so we've learnt That solitude is bravery But we are a fearful one With a courageous soul I and I With our teary eyes It is ok to cry Yet let it not be a sign Of our weakness for desire And so we've discovered Our two legs and two arms One mind and one heart One life and one start I and I We shall not be broken By these words that are spoken Or the party of four And so from ignorance We've risen But by consciousness We've fallen I and I Here, the coward cannot run But must face crowd Like a tiger above tame Unrefined and without shame And so they WILL learn To call us by our name With ease or with strain But never in vain. I and I Be strong Be brave For society cannot tell you Just how to be you. And soon we will see That we are destined to be free Destined for oneness Peace and harmony.
