My open eye to the light
Move to the shadow
Wait for it, wait for the night
Wait for the light in the night
Move with the stars in the night
Wait for it, wait for the night
My open eyes to the right
Even the fallow
Waits for it, waits for the right
Waits for the right time, you and I
In the mire, here it is shallow
Shallow
Shine, you and I, broken light
See it's inside you and you're made for it
Made for the fight, made for the fight
You were right, move to the stars in the night
Into the sunrise
Speak on it, speak for the right
Reach for the right light, you and I
In the mire, leaving the shadows
Wait for it
Wait for it (Wait for it)
Thus saith the Lord
Wait for it (Wait for it)
Wait for it
Audre Lorde said, "We were never meant to survive."
Lorde said, "If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be
Crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive."
The Lord tells us that there is no thing as a single-issue struggle
Because we do not live single-issue lives. The Lord said, "
I am not free while any woman is unfree." The Lord said, "When
The sun rises, we are afraid. When the sun sets, we are afraid
When our stomachs are full, we are afraid. When our stomachs are
Empty, we are afraid. When we are loved, we are afraid. When we
Are alone, we are afraid. When we are silent, we are still afraid."
So the Lord said, "It is better to speak, remembering we were never
Meant to survive." And because she knew that speaking was going to be
Uncomfortable, because she knew that speaking was going to be hard
The Lord tells us our speaking out will irritate some people, get us
Called bitchy or hypersensitive, and disrupt dinner
Parties. But then the Lord said our speaking will
Permit other women to speak until laws are changed
Until lives are saved, and the world is altered forever
But the Lord also said, "The master's tools will never dismantle the
Master's house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his
Own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine
Change." The Lord said, "Revolution is not a one-time event." The
Good Lord tells us there is only one thing more frightening than
Speaking your own truth, and that is not speaking. Thus, Audre Lorde
Said, "It is better to speak, remembering we were never
Meant to survive." The Lord said, "Your silence will not
Protect you." So it is better to speak, remembering we
Were never meant to survive. We were never meant to survive
We were never meant to survive. Thus saith the Lord
My open eye to the light
Move to the shadow
Wait for it, wait for the night
Wait for the light in the night
Move with the stars in the night
Wait for it, wait for the night
My open eyes to the right
Even the fallow
Waits for it, waits for the right
Waits for the right time, you and I
In the mire, here it is shallow
