If I move slowly through this task |
|
I will earn some rest |
|
If I move quickly and surely |
|
I will do my best |
|
I'm sad to see things change |
|
For you who were such good friends |
|
One should walk the way one needs |
|
And when the way is crooked one bends |
|
Out that evening it makes me sick to think |
|
You put your hands up as if to say |
|
I won't be part of what you do |
|
Life ain't war least not today |
|
If I move slowly through this task |
|
I will earn some rest |
|
If I move quickly and surely |
|
I will do my best |
|
This is how it would be |
|
When we would meet often to see |
|
How easy things could be made |
|
And still go down unanxiously |
|
Once you were chased down the street by blacks |
|
Screaming about how cool it is |
|
To be black and you ducked away |
|
It will never be as cool as this |
|
If I move slowly through this task |
|
I will earn some rest |
|
If I move quickly and surely |
|
I will do my best |
|
Then it was needed to become rough |
|
In order not to be inhuman |
|
Uncanny unable and unwilling |
|
To think about not having children |
