Dawn (feat. Esperanza Spalding)

Walled in so-called God's offense

Or make a break and melt

Half bull, half goddess

These are the labyrinth myths on me

From the million flights I've fashioned in my mind

I know the sky to be tall and free

So far, that dangerous sun ripens me

Plumper than a sunset giving way

To the unfurling of Black

Come, new story begin

Rising with dawn in my skin

Luminous, my way is waxing in the sun

Moon-like, I rise on poetic wings

I'm not afraid of the maze

Humans made

Dare you to ascend dreams of your own

Free until death has its way

Long as you're alive

Go on and find you some sun
