Oh deem my name independent and complete,
Sans the need for a man's with it,
Care for the health of my supple critter,
For though fragile, she's borne more than you hear,
Spare a true word of praise, that drops from thy heart,
For not just the extras, but each day's effort,
For we take it all and fail to see,
All we've done and all we could be,
Oh share thy burdens, at work or at home,
And lay thy head on my arms, as I have, for years,
And hand me the pleasure of partaking your pain,
For in that, lies the highest honour I can gain,
You've come to see, how we were oppressed,
And you've laid a crown on our heads,
But pay no more for your fathers' sins,
For the torment they gave to our kin,
Pray, just see us, just us, for who we are,
More humans, just like you are,
Pray, place your hand along with mine,
And let's walk together, for all time
Sans the need for a man's with it,
Care for the health of my supple critter,
For though fragile, she's borne more than you hear,
Spare a true word of praise, that drops from thy heart,
For not just the extras, but each day's effort,
For we take it all and fail to see,
All we've done and all we could be,
Oh share thy burdens, at work or at home,
And lay thy head on my arms, as I have, for years,
And hand me the pleasure of partaking your pain,
For in that, lies the highest honour I can gain,
You've come to see, how we were oppressed,
And you've laid a crown on our heads,
But pay no more for your fathers' sins,
For the torment they gave to our kin,
Pray, just see us, just us, for who we are,
More humans, just like you are,
Pray, place your hand along with mine,
And let's walk together, for all time
