These Hands |
I see a man in the alley |
Hood hiding heaps of grief |
These supple hands are trembling |
Coat tails pass in the breeze |
I smell the fear in the alley |
Hood hiding heirlooms of class |
These tired hands are steady |
My fate is tied to the mast |
Every time I see you, I am not myself |
I am acting, smiling, I’m not one of them |
Will I teach my children how horrendous it feels |
To draw the line between skins? |
Ooh |
I hear my name in the alley |
Shouts flicker morse with the lights |
Shots fire for no reason |
Ghosts with their palms open wide |
Every time I see you, I am not myself |
I am acting, smiling, I’m not one of them |
Will I teach my children how horrendous it feels |
To draw the line between skins? |
Dime |
See |
I drop a dime in the alley |
Glimmers to bring him the news |
These steady hands are trying |
Though they’ve done nothing for you |
