Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Forced to walk that trail of tears Dust in my throat Names in my ears Watching friends and loved ones fall I have to carry their stories and pain That’s all We were told there was a brighter place Signed-away future with a stranger’s face Promised peace Given iron and smoke Smiles in the sunlight Hands at our throats [Chorus] See me I am more than what your pages say See me I am breathing through this blood-stained day You stole our land You drew your lines But you won’t erase these memories of mine See me See me [Verse 2] Broken earth and crowded ground Four bare walls Fences all around Forced to squeeze whole worlds in a single room Songs turned to whispers Under the moon Sisters taken in the dead of night No one comes knocking No call No search Their empty blankets Laid out for us to cry [Chorus] [Bridge] Remember each footprint Each hand I held tight Every small prayer Thrown into the night You took what you wanted Left us with scars But we’re still here Counting your stars [Chorus]
