you gave us a voice
when we couldn’t cry
you made our stand
when we felt we should die
a poem is the open book
for those who cannot speak
the far away revealing song
of darkness oh so thick
the one way road to feel the pain
of those who feel so strayed
the streams that touched by hidden hands
sound only once, then fade
we give the notes for you to play
ever forbidden words
the only heaven meant for man
who shines but once then falls
and when the door is ever locked
remember and beware
the voice of those who saw the light
lies in your palms to share
