We are Lillies in the Swamp
waiting for a chance to be picked up
From the Swamp
waiting for opportunities to be place in
a cristal clear Jar so that we could
blossom in lovely Colours
displaced by human explosive Mechanism
from our home town and Country of Origin
We are Lillies in the Swamp
Opressed and Chestised
never known what tomorrow might bring,
only seeking a chance to make
the most of our Lives.
We are Lillies in the Swamp
Please don’t judge me by the Colour
Of my Skin or the Colour of my eyes,
for brothers and sisters are made
by chance and Friends are made by Heart
We are Lillies in the Swamp
only asking for a place to stand
to stand in the World so we could blossom
just like You
We are Lillies in the Swamp
please don’t punish me with
Brutality… take my hands
and don’t let me wither in this Depressing
tide of Life
For we are Lillies in the Swamp.
