Please wake me when I'm free

I cannot bear captivity

where my culture I'm

told holds no significance

I'll wither and die in ignorance

But my inner eye can c a race

who reigned as kings in another place

the green of trees were rich and full

and every man spoke of beautiful

men and women together as equals

War was gone because all was peaceful

But now like a nightmare I wake 2 c

That I live like a prisoner of poverty

Please wake me when I'm free

I cannot bear captivity

4 I would rather be stricken blind

than 2 live without expression of mind
