Red Flag

tell them to move and feel alright
to dance and say it how they feel
telling the truth will not kill
even if it will, so will the lie.

what will a man gain
to be amongst others, and
not feel a sense of belonging?
tell them to move and feel alright.

if you come for the play
remember that two can join
to pray, to prey, to share, and
to dance and say it how they feel.

it is in the way you feel
in the things you think about
that concludes what you say
telling the truth will not kill.
