I am your shield now
a gift that you will return
with peace in your old eyes

a grown man to another

the water is now air

that's all I know
I am your own blood
that's all I know


no longer a white man
collapsing the you in me

I tell you we born free
I am your blood, your sea


I dream how you rest now
that's all I know
I dream how you leave now

that's all I know
