My room looks out to the wide open spaces
|
My heart is touched by awakening faces
|
I see the panic of people in motion
|
I can stand here, look out on an ocean.
|
I am a wall awaiting a catchword.
|
I see the city laid out like a patchwork.
|
Alone I am free from hatred and blindness
|
I hope that this life is frozen and timeless.
|
My man is here, we grow old by inches.
|
Tomorrow I'll walk among heroes and princes.
|
I feed the boys, I hear secrets whispered.
|
I know the hearts that are battered and blistered.
|
I am secure
|
In this world of apartheid.
|
This is my cell, but it's connected to star - light.

I Am Secure
