Ever

X Missy Elliot - For My People

ever
will someone ever hear my cries?
the grief and pain i feel inside
taking my happiness away like wind and sand
leaving me alone to bleed and tear

will they ever hear my voice?
of every single word of truth and lie
they'd only deny
and leave me bleed a river to die

will they hear my song?
where love and trust embrace in arms
people dancing, singing songs
hopes and dreams soon come along

will they ever learn to hear
my cries, my songs, my voice so clear
will they ever learn to bear
the grief, the pain, the denial remain

why cant we live life the way we want it to be?
appreciate the beauty of the good and the ugly?
