" So clear off the streets when the sun goes down
because darkness has always been hers,
it’s where she’s lived all her life
and she can see in the dark,
cry in the dark,
eat and love and hurt in the dark,
it’s hers and it’s all we gave her,
so when she catches us there in it,
she doesn’t give a shit who we are, what color we are,
she’ll bring it to us,
make us feel a little of the darkness
she’s felt and lived in all her life. "
