Answer Me This
You can hide, but I can see you with my eyes
You've turned on me,
believing that you are free
You fear, yet there has been no reason
It's been very unjustly
I'm teaching a lesson
One that you all have been in need of
A lesson from the soul
From a heart with the scars
from the battle zone
You wonder who I am
"How dare I think that way"
You think I don't have the right
but you see that is far from the truth
I am who I am, you bare witness to the fact
Innocence has been the victim
My trust you broke
Words with knowledge is the sword
that shall fight my battles
The shield against the ones
who have turned upon.
I have loved, I have been betrayed
I have knowledge given
from the day I was born
till the day I opened my eyes
and beyond till the death of my physical
to the life I live in the beyond
Answer me this,
"What is it you do not like?"
Look at my heart, I wear it well
Is it you wish to be
knowing you aren't
friendships do not refrain
I hope your eyes will see someday
Destiny's child is what I am
for one, who was in need
I have loved,
people stood in the way
Yet they will be the ones
who will have to answer to their choice
Answer me this, "WHY"!?
