Danger


Danger


Look around corners,

Mama says it’s unsafe. 

Bring a gun to Walmart,

Just in case. 

Human beings Being hunted,

I Wonder why. 

Our growth is stunted,

And we can’t even cry.  


Because there’s danger (danger),

(Look over here).

You sense danger? (Danger!)

Look over there. 

Now you better be (better be)

Better Beware. 

That danger (danger) is 

everywhere. 

(Bee-uh, bee-uh, bee-uh-ware)


Now you gotta shoot at,

The guy who shoots you. 

Good cop, bad cop,

Who knows who?

Mr Stranger danger,

Part of the family. 

Run away, run away 

Beware the candy. 


Because there’s danger (danger),

(Look over here).

You sense danger? (Danger!)

Look over there. 

Now you better be (better be)

Better Beware. 

That danger (danger) is 

everywhere. 

(Bee-uh, bee-uh, bee-uh-ware)


Can’t eat, can’t sleep, 

Cuz You never know

Cops at the door,

(“Open up!”)

You’re dead on the floor. 

We gotta find a way out,

none of this is new. 

Everybody’s sick of 

Eating misery stew. 


Stop! What if we stop?

Trust a brother, trust your sister. 

Stop! What if we stop?

Help a brother, love your sister. 

Now Stop! What if we stop?

Trust a brother, trust your sister. 

Stop! What if we stop?

Help a brother, love your sister. 


Is there really danger? (No!)

(Look over here).

You sense danger? (No!)

Look over there. 

Let’s relax some,

Breathe in the air

That danger (danger)

Can’t be everywhere. 


What if we stop?

(Trust a brother, trust a sister.)

Stop! 

(What if we stop?)

Help a brother, love your sister. 


We can find a new way this time. 

Let’s not run out of days this time. 

We can be better to each other now. 

Be kind to one another now.

You Already Knew

  Remind me what you said Just before the sky broke.  New white sandals, Cuffed shorts Embroidered and hemmed  Just above the knee Every inch exploring Braids twisted in hope, Nothing is missing, But everything is gone.  Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. In the park, children playing Through the haze, sunbeams swaying Trees whisper their ancient lore And the world turns, evermore In each face, a story to find In each heart, a piece of time Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. Unwinding. I speak… listen. I fly… walk. I move… still. But, you already knew. Remind me what you said, just before the sky broke.

A Child Set Free

  Shine the stars down, Fall the soft rain down. Shine the stars down, Fall the soft rain down. Through the dark,  spirit songs. Finding Hope  that we belong. Oh, glorious story,  unfolding, unfurling, In the beginning, when now as ever, a child set free.  Through the dark,  spirit songs, Finding Hope  that we belong. Oh, glorious story,  unfolding, unfurling, In the beginning, when now as ever, a child set free.  Shine the stars down, Fall the soft rain down. Oh, glorious story,  unfolding, unfurling, In the beginning, when now as ever, a child set free.  (C) 2024 BMI

Six Years Old

  The first time I broke I was 6 years old and my aunt told me My daddy was gone. I brought him cards I looked outside too, I checked his room, But, daddy I couldn’t  Find you.     Before you left, did grandpa say: “I will take care of them for the rest of my days?” Before you left, Did grandpa say: “I give you my word,  it will be okay?” “You have permission  to fall away.”   The next time I broke, 5 weeks had gone by And mama told me that  Good men die. Grandpa was so strong, It was just a test. Then one dose,  two dose, cardiac arrest. I didn’t bring him cards I didn’t check his room, Because grandpa  It was just too soon. The first time  I broke in half I was 6 years old and… And my innocence was gone. Oh my innocence was gone. God my innocence was gone.   My innocence was gone. Oh my innocence was gone. (C) 2024 BMI
