And here I am

They were brought here
And here I am
On ships they brought them
And here I am
For years mistreated
And here I am
And for what?
Was it to find better land,
Or rather to fill their pockets and recount tales?
Tales of victory and defeat.
Victory and defeat over what?
Over whom?
Victory over the native living his life?
Raising his family and raising their children,
the only way they knew how?
Defeat over the black man?
The black man they forced to build their land?
The black woman they raped and pillaged?
Yet out of every disaster
Every sad story, every sad song
we're told we can find good.
What good do we find here?
Is it even possible...
They forced us here
But let's force ourselves to make a difference.

yup..
