Tekst piosenki
[Soundbite: James Baldwin]
It seems to me, that the, artist’s struggle for his integrity
Is a kind of metaphor, must be considered as a metaphor
For the struggle, which is universal and daily
Of all human beings, on the face of this terrifying globe
To get to become human beings…
It is not your fault; it is not my fault that I write
I would never have come before you in the position of a complainant
For doing something that I must do…
What we might get at this evening – if we are lucky
If the mic doesn’t fail, if my voice holds out, if you ask me questions –
Is what the importance of this effort is…
It would seem to me, that – how ironic this may sound;
I want to suggest two propositions…
The first one is, that the poets – by which I mean all artists –
Are finally the only people who know the truth about us
Soldiers don’t, Statesmen don’t
Priests don’t, Union leaders don’t…
Only the poets…
