Lyrics
They want to close the lids on your eyes
Shut your mouth and not sympathize
Hear the words and not listen or
Hear you wrong and criticize
Leave you dusty on a shelf
Force them wanting something else
Tear your name into a shred
Until there’s nothing left for you to say
Innocent and bleeding red as truth
Vigilant and strong as wisdom can
And where does it get you?
And where does it get you?
Too long held down
The words of too many unsung
And rights
So many un-won
The rights- Too many un-won
The rights- Too many unsung
They want to close the lids on your eyes
Shut your lids and not sympathize
Leave you dusty on the shelf
