I cannot live in the captivity of my demise
I cannot bear the pain and hurt I see with my very eyes
I cannot look upon oppression and surrender my life and dreams
I cannot be a slave with no understanding of being free
I cannot bear to accept the fall of my nation and my throne
I cannot bear the defeat and acceptance of what is wrong
I cannot bear the death of my family and my friends
I cannot live another day where suffering has no end
I cannot watch my heritage be stolen and misplaced
I cannot bear the accusation of dishonor and disgrace
I cannot serve my enemy and reject my king of kings
I cannot accept my future, I cannot fly without my wings
I cannot find rest in a place of destruction for all thats good
I cannot live my life and evolve as a child of GOD should
I cannot love myself or be my brothers keeper
I cannot surcome to the torture of being the obedient weeper
I cannot face myself or the realization of whom I came to be
I cannot live under oppression, wake me when I am free!
