Unmasked

Unmasked

Go naked into the shrouded world

And be shunned and castigated

But hold fast to your freedom

In a world where this is hated

Let your mouth be free but fair

And understand that some are scared

Show compassion where you find none

But refuse to be ensnared

Take courage from your allies

There are way more than you know

Who have joined this noble movement

And pray hard that this will grow

Accept the hopeless feelings

When they wash over your mind

But you’ve got to hang on in there

They’ll recede just like the tide

Find moments in the in-between

Where laughter wins the day

Our souls will need the fortitude

To hold and disobey

Look out for one another

And help those that are weary

We can light the path of truth

For those who don’t see clearly

Take strength from mother nature

The example that she gives

For even in the harshest times

True beauty surely lives

Stand firm for truth and justice

As the lies all interlace

And know that to expose the truth

You must expose your face

Show bare-face cheek resistance

A rebels’ metaphor

Remember that it’s for us all

That we stand at freedom’s door.
