To be a real man one has got to define who he is and not society.
I wish he could love the same,
in both dark and light.
Give me his soul's hand to hold,
To feel his weakness and might.
Open his eyes to the powers that be,
loosen the masculinity's chains,
and freely dive into the depth of me.
Break the chains!
Break the chains, I say
Enjoy the real gift and not the lay.
Meet freedom,
so happiness can follow.
Tighten masculinity's chains,
and your soul it will swallow.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
