If only I could,
If only I would
If only to take
If only to break
If only to stop
might I reach the top?

If only to know
If only to grow
If only to leave
what could I achieve?

If only I weren't
If only they hurt
If only I bleed
only then would you see?
me?
for me?
a black
me,
a white
me,

To attack me
for not me.
to hate me
to discriminate me.

to take me
to break me
to stop me

Or

To love us
To hold us
To lead us
To guide us

To make way
for a new day.
To do it
our way.
