KINGS and QUEENS

For the formidable heroes
In you and me
We stand tall looking ahead
Knowing something
So deep inside and strong
For this alone, we are the salt of the earth

When the odds come as they often do
We are not afraid by the hands of white and cunning
Because we know that there is gold and silver in our heart and soul beyond what the soil can hold

There's a place in our DNA that speaks a language only you and l recognise
We rise above the systemised conundrum
And see the real us in the mirror
Of kings and queens in regular garb we are
Making kingdoms with every step we take

We defer no longer to powers that refuse to see us
We build together a lineage of responsibility
No more blaming and gaming
We take the fall with pride
This is what real royalty do

For the formidable heroes in you and me
We stand tall looking ahead
Knowing something
So deep inside and strong
For this alone, we are the
salt of the earth
