Better Days

I was born inside fences It only increased my defenses No one thought about the consequences On a child’s mind They said beyond the fence is the enemy if I’ll be good enough god will save me But I saw the devil with my own my eyes He broke into my heart time after time Took my dignity Made a mess and blamed me But I know better days will come Too many years I’ve been covering for Things that a child is not suppose to hold No one was there to understand And Mom I know you did your best They broke your throne Left you unrest through it all you made me feel blessed They shut you up time after time Took your dignity Entered Zion still never felt free But I know better days will come They shut you up time after time Took our dignity Entered Zion still never felt free But I know better days will come
