Brave Soul
Oh, brave soul that you are,
Never to afraid to come to me in your nakedness.
Never afraid to come to me in your black skin.
Oh, brave soul that you are,
Never afraid to tell me all your secrets,
Never afraid to tell me that you love me.
Oh, brave soul,
I am not so brave.
I am quite afraid.
I am often ashamed of my nakedness…
of my blackness.
Oh, brave soul,
I am always fighting to speak,
Warding off demons with the love that wets your words.
