Everything Is Not As It Seems

When my mouth is closed don’t mean I ain’t got nothin’ to say
When my knees don’t bow don’t mean I don’t know how to pray
When my eyes is closed don’t mean I’m asleep
When my language is black don’t mean I can’t get deep
When my wallet is empty don’t mean that I’m poor
When my wings are hidden don’t mean I can’t soar
When my heart is silent don’t mean that I’m dead
When my feet are still don’t mean I’m afraid
When my mind is confused don’t mean I don’t know the way
When my mouth is closed don’t mean I ain’t got nothing to say
When my brain can’t calculate don’t mean I don’t know math
When my hands are peaceful don’t mean they can’t impose wrath
When my ears are covered done mean that I can’t hear
When my soul shivers don’t mean I’m distraught with fear
When my world is black and white don’t mean I can’t see hues
When my will is worn don’t mean that I can be abused
When my mind focuses on tomorrow don’t mean I forgot yesterday
When my mouth is closed don’t mean I ain’t got nothin’ to say
