Today/Tomorrow

When the smog clears, I will not choke

I will rise, I will speak, I will sing

For truth, for justice and life’s current fight

And a world that sees technicolor, not black or white

When the chains come off, I will not hide

Not in the shadows, not even in the wings

I will march, I will run and dance to the finish line

To the beat of my drum and a song that’s all mine

When the page finally turns, I will take it all back

My voice, my body, my destiny and life

Where illness ends and I can begin

Again and over, and finally win
