Give me back the innocence that you took away Give me back the childhood days that I will never see Give me back the dreams that died because my life didnt matter Give me back the family that I never knew With the hope for forgiveness I am asking you to give me Remove from my back the scars that goes so deep Remove from me the mental shackles that will not let me sleep Remove from me the pictures that clouds my vision Remove from me the truth behind your indecision When I tried to walk you took away my feet When I tried to speak you denied me speech When I tried to survive you labeled me an outlaw When I tried to shake your hands you laughed and pulled away Now I am here, naked and beaten... a fighter still Will you hear the whispers from the ancestors? Will you open up your heart and let love find you? Will you release the grip that imprisons us both? Will you tear down the walls that divides? The fighter lives... to show you life The fighter loves...to teach you peace The fighter shows vulnerability...to teach you trust The fighter drinks defeat...to appreciate the taste of victory A mutual celebration...people joining hands A joyful sound in the heart of the wretched Fear overtaken by sweet love Because of walls we are strangers but deep within we are kins We are here, naked with truth...triumphant in the long walk on the road to freedom.
