Emancipation

Walk slowly and bow your head low
Beware of those who lurk behind and
Kudge every move you make

Color your face lightly and blend in
They might be silent and far away, but still
Someone is watching you

No one
Can know
Who you are and that you left their God to die

That's how
You're taught
But wait
Uour emancipation comes in time

You'll wait them out

Quiet at daytime
And tied down at first sight
But those who know freedom comes slowly
Will know you'll wait them out

Follow their lead tight
Be the best boy this town's seen
Then, the moment they look away
You break out and won't look back

That's how
It goes
When you imagine how it all will end

Your mind
Can't be owned
That's how your emancipation comes at night

You'll wait them out

Your premonition tells you to keep
Quiet as you prepare to flee
Free at last, unchained mentally
With yourself as your true ally
No one who degrades you or leaves
If they had known who you are within
But for now you'll act as if it's real
That you are who they demand you to be
And hope it's worth the wait to live in secrecy

Will you wait them out
