"Not only in the Middle East but also in the Middle West / We human beings in Manama or in Madison today"

For the Revolution as the lotus unfolds We human beings simply would be free to do and be our best Not only in the Middle East but also in the Middle West As I in California here in Orange my hometown would be And am again now as I was before the godly trod on me I was a mental patient and so patient still I stayed To tote and fetch for the idle rich and to bear it patiently To validate their invalidity and be the one who paid To be in wonderland and ordered about by rabbits and mice Ostensibly well meaning and yet ruthless as they were Superior to me they thought but I was trying to be nice Since the root of their ruthlessness was that they were afraid But of their fear and love I choose love as my God and would prefer To starve to death in freedom than to live in slavery I could never feel free till now but I could always be somehow They used me like a tool but could not make a fool of me I know there is no limitation but what I myself allow They fooled me once but by their God they could not fool me twice What love gave and what fear took then I bring back home to love again We human beings simply would be free to do and be our best As in the name of love we fight for freedom as the way we pray Not only in the Middle East but also in the Middle West We human beings in Manama or in Madison today +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
