Child's Plea

Oh! Daddy...
please don't cry
what defines you
the Man confines you
the word refines you

Oh! Daddy...
please don't die
this disease
this world
these lies you believe
leave them behind
in the garbage
where dreams become nightmares

Oh! Daddy...
please don't suffer
it's your dream

Oh! Daddy...
please don't cry
speak up and be heard
give em the word

Oh! Daddy...
you can't die
I see love in your eyes
open up and see
these bars aren't real
they serve the Man

Oh! Daddy...
make love your dream
and fly...

(c) Dale Clark
