Under The Wings of Insanity
By Lady Dee
Under the wings of insanity
Rests the desperation of our ancestors
The unbelievable story
Of our past beliefs
Of unheard denial
Our Mothers and Grandmothers
Stretching their minds and their bodies
So that their souls become nothingness
No freedom, no peace
Nothing, but eternal pain
Excepting the abuse of a man
Forcing down his hand
Taking away their strength
I refuse to allow the cycle to continue
So I stand alone
All on my own
Not sure where to turn
Alone with my children
Beaten and bruised
Wishing it would end
Broken free
You see
It's not enough to go
For pain still flows
With everlasting strength
I'll survive, I know
But I'll never be the same
Under the wings of insanity
I'm changing history
For those that will follow
My sacrifice is not in vain
It's for those with weakened spirits
To those before me
Whose spirits were broken
I take my role with pride
I'll survive for all of us
No matter how hard this is
I know not what the future holds
But I'm willing to be patient
My time will come
And the pain will diminish
It's for freedom
For peace
And to stop the eternal pain
I'll survive
I must
The future is in my hands...
