Just when you needed her to be a banal blur, On the surface simplicity but you lay her down you'll see She's nobody else. She's not simply help. She may change your world like nobody else. Assume and you may think he has a head of meat. On the surface simplicity, but a layer down you'll see. He's nobody else. He's not simply help. He may change your world like nobody else. To protect each other from the blight we use the color and the light and melanin's a melody. To protect each other through the night we use our hearts as second sight to wade us through what we can't see. Justice is blinding me to find an honesty. On the surface simplicity, but there's truth in everything. And I'm nobody else. You're nobody else. We can change the world with everyone's help.

At times an act of love's a fight. Opposing lovelessness is right. Assimilation's chased with zeal. Adhesion eases what is real. Permed out. Sauced up. Blending is no defense. Forget them. Free you. Your defense is your strength. You want all of the things your oppressor has, including an equivalent to you. Please don't start the circle again. Look at your oppressor and realize the one difference Your burden is greater than those who put it upon you. Your job's to teach the people who taught the ignorance you've shed what you've learned from it. For there is no way that they know what you've learned.

Heart Alarm 04:06
Sometimes I think I hear you stare at me and your eyes sound just like the sunrise when it peaks it's head above the window pane to make sure I'm alive Can this be that you would be the one to share my life We're past the past. Today is paradise To protect each other through the night we use our hearts as alarms Oh to make sure that we're alright Oh, we'll make sure that we're alright Some tides can move the change of life ashore And sureness like the tides can rise and fall But each wave leaves a line to mark the amplitude of change it left before Can this be and put it on a shelf inside your mind above the can't and won't and fear of harm To protect each other through the night we use our hearts as alarms Oh, to make sure that we're alright Oh, we'll make sure that we're alright Oh, just make sure that we're alright 'Cuz i feel I'm fallin in love with you.

Consequence is not fate Nature's eye turned it's way Until the levees break they can't relate. Songe donc, nous savoir. In the rain In the ashes In the ford In the flood Songe donc, nous savoir. Dans le pluie Dans le cendres Dans le gue Dans le crue Crooked paths are made straight Nature is not a lady Until their own homes shake they can't see Haiti. Songe donc, nous savoir. In the rain In the ashes In the ford In the flood Songe donc, nous savoir. Dans le pluie Dans le cendres Dans le gue Dans le crue (Repeat) The only limit is our imagination.

Our Art Ark 02:33
Hark maiden. May I build an ark with you? Our art ark. Hark maiden. May I share my heart with you? My heart, your art. My heart's art Our heart's art Our art ark Hark maiden May I build an ark with you? May I share my heart with you? May I say it starts with you? Art made in high regard for you. Our art ark... Art made in our hearts Our art ark.
