we lived under images


We lived under images
We crafted for ourselves
Maybe we learned it
Through the ranks

We observed the elders
We saw the strangers did
The way they spoke
The gestures they shared

The stage shows we learned
Painted faces clothing to hide
The true feeling we kept under wrapped
We learned it we could carry it far

The clothes of fear
The clothes of division
The clothes of class
The clothes of power

Our lives a stage show
Ringing high and low
If only we remember
We are here a short while

Learn as much as we can
Know the pitfalls on the road
Don't go for the bad
We never go far with it
