Bleeding

I stand in front of the paper and I

Bleed all over the page

Toil and drudge for our daily bread

Spill our guts for a wage

I stand in front of the gallows and I

Hold my head up so high

In the prison of hurt and dread

My spirit still will not die

———

I choose this hurt I choose this bleeding

And I choose unending drowning

I choose love and I choose burning

I choose to stay strong, keep enduring

All they put me through

I choose to claim my voice and power

I choose to stand up to the tower

Choose to speak my truth, not cower

Know this love is true

———

I stand in front of the hanging judge and

I do not show remorse

Our people suffer under heel

Let my love take its course

I stand in front of eternity and

Take on the fate they give

I’ll keep turning the fire’s wheel

So the future can live

———

I choose this hurt I choose this bleeding

And I choose unending drowning

I choose love and I choose burning

I choose to stay strong, keep enduring

All they put me through

I choose to claim my voice and power

I choose to stand up to the tower

Choose to speak my truth, not cower

Know this love is true

———

Hurt and pain and death and hate

It’s all that we’ve had anyways

I’ve nothing to lose for all that I have

Belongs to pure love’s secret ways

Hurt and pain and death and hate

Is what I’ll take on for all days

The future will be true equality

And all will bloom beneath moon’s rays

———

I choose this hurt I choose this bleeding

And I choose unending drowning

I choose love and I choose burning

I choose to stay strong, keep enduring

All they put me through

I choose to claim my voice and power

I choose to stand up to the tower

Choose to speak my truth, not cower

Know this love is true
