We're Here
 

We're hiding here
Beneath the palm leaves
Waiting for you in lush forests
Of our lives

You're not looking
If you can't see us, eyes shut
Moving wordlessly past
On a sultry night

No one knows our souls
As we cry out in the night
Wishing for a freedom lost
Over timeless lives

Find us, free us, love us
Know us for who we are
Reaching for the light
Of the new day
