I accept trouble.
I accept trouble if it means that voices are heard
I accept trouble if it means that less children die
Chain me if you must
But know
I will not be silent
I will never be silent
I will walk with every woman
I will walk with every man
Who drops their guns
Who looks to the beautiful sky
Who cherishes a loving glance of humanity
Who sings on my porch
I accept the trouble it might bring
You, the fugitive, the shamed, the blamed
I accept you with all your beautiful warts and scars and tears
And I will not be silent
I will never be silent
And no chains will ever bind me
And i will come to you in your moments of sadness
And i will wipe your tears and I will play music and dance with you
And together we will rise
I accept trouble if it means that voices are heard
I accept trouble if it means that less children die
Chain me if you must
But know
I will not be silent
I will never be silent
I will walk with every woman
I will walk with every man
Who drops their guns
Who looks to the beautiful sky
Who cherishes a loving glance of humanity
Who sings on my porch
I accept the trouble it might bring
You, the fugitive, the shamed, the blamed
I accept you with all your beautiful warts and scars and tears
And I will not be silent
I will never be silent
And no chains will ever bind me
And i will come to you in your moments of sadness
And i will wipe your tears and I will play music and dance with you
And together we will rise
