| Invocation: Ballad For A Child |
|---|
| I would rather be a plant |
| Than a man in this land |
| I would rather be a plant on this land |
| You can transplant a plant |
| Where it can grow free |
| But a man that’s been transplanted can’t |
| So you can see where I would rather be a tree |
| With branches and leaves I can grow free |
| If man had a choice before he’s exploited |
| Then his offspring would do more than dream |
| Isn’t that a shame |
