When Time Stood Still


When its All Said and Done
and the moment cant be undone
Reasons for my treasons never justify my fun
and, seasons change teasing my freezing senses senseless
time renders me numb, holding on seems dumb


Maybe if I stand still, time will stop and finally come. To a halt
See its not my fault
never been one to pick up with the masses and mindlessly bolt
could never, convince my mind to be lees of a kind
Could never, follow someone Else's lead as though I were blind


For fucks sake where's the independence in dependence?
Consequences for my own actions I accept
I pay them with sweat from my own back, not trace of debt
Steve Biko didn't fight for my choice for me suddenly to lose my voice
Luther King's dream seems obscene 
Revolutions used to overturn constitutions
but now opinions suffer the ultimate cost. buried in the frost.


I weep not for my country
Not for the state of my countries bounty
never suffer sleepless nights, nor fights of the delights of the cities bright. lights.
No. 


My people are strong. My people exude ambition
Determined, and in addition, my people are on a mission
My people take long steps with their heads held high
My people wake up in the morning with motivation from the Divine
My people don't miss a beat, there's wings on my people's feet


My people might leave me behind
..be careful next time i think time can rewind.
